Coming in peace BookTok. Powerless by Lauren Roberts was enjoyable, great banter and decent world building! Just didn't fully grip me by the end. Well written though, YA Romantasy lovers should absolutely give it a try!
⭐3.5/5 🌶️1/5

I'm letting go of the two plant babies on the end. I've had them for nine years, and they're poisonous for Miss Kitty. I swear this cat is teaching me so much about control and letting go. #lettinggo #plants #cats #stepone I admit that I'm #powerless over my cat.

"We're doing great in this war."
"It's NOT a war."
"The war plans are firm."
"It's NOT a war."
"This war is almost over."
"It's NOT a war."
It's an "excursion".

Hey, Congress---it IS a war, and YOU are impotent. You suck. #selfImposed #DoNothing #powerless

I read #Powerless and... didn't even make it halfway 😐

I don't care if people say "It's getting better at book 2 or 3..." sorry folks but if book 1 isn't even that good, I ain't reading the rest of the series.

Anyone else here lose the whole week's string of #PromptCombo posts? When I checked in this morning, wanting to read through some older posts, it only showed me new ones from just today. Had to add #Powerless to my search to get it all back, and still not sure it's all there.

#Powerless

Touch drawn from nowhere
Startled old woman
Knows nothing
- in that split second -
But the hard heavy ringful
Hand of the once kind man

On her three year old shoulder

nerve endings screaming
overloaded mind — shutdown
nothing left to spare
neuronal sparks misfired
mental batteries drained

A Difficulty 

Gust cold gets inside skin.

Difficulty with fingers as he finds coin
he cannot grasp.

I know the old have thinner skin.
"It is colder," I suggest.

"Early onset of Parkinson's," he replies.

"Have a better day," I reply weakly.

the past lives within my skin
pink scars showing how
powerless
one is over their own mind
depression shows up
and never leaves
like a bad party guest
(could've at least spiked the punch)
a downer with a knife
while paranoia is watching
staring, inhaling details 
to ridicule later
every word you write
every word you speak
it's all ridiculous and wrong
the darkness is incurable
a partner for life
unwanted uninvited
unwilling to leave

Once it's in you, it's not going to leave. You have no say.

Quoting Joyce while she tossed him
His ashes fly furious at her words
Cruel bitumen for potholes
Compost for nettle and thistle

He has no power now and less before

Borrow ditch grave lends the name 
A road to send back by
Terminally reduced after all his reducing  
A ceremony of banishment not loss

She wants the spot for her own scatterings
Take me down to the eternal, she sings,
Make me the whirling howling phantom cinders 
Of victim turned tormentor.

On Being Called Obedient 

The tide looks obedient,
a shoreline kneeling twice a day.
But it is tendon and pull,
muscle hooked to a distant bone,
dragged by a body it never sees.

On Being Called Obedient The tide looks obedient, a shoreline kneeling twice a day. But it is tendon and pull, muscle hooked to a distant bone, dragged by a body it never sees.

On Being Called Calm

No flame. No voice.
Still, oceans lean toward her.
Salt swells in the throat of water.
Blood keeps its red calendar

My thoughts veered into femininity, perception & misdiagnosis of powerless.
I couldn't choose one so here are both responses.

Weakest 

are the most powerful.

I'm against their authority.
Homeless, destitute, abandoned hold sway.

We're under their thumb.
What gives them the right?

We don't want to abandon our homes, cars,
land. What gives them the right

to lord it over us with those stares?
Begging us to submit to their rule,

As if they want us to sink to their level.
We've got principles. They're all billionaires

on quiet, you know.

I've never posted twice in one week to #promptcombo, but I think this one fits the theme of #powerless and the times we live in. @rfsmith.bsky.social

Hurt

I can feel your pain
even from a million miles away.
It travels through the absence,
through the words you don’t say.

I reach for you in my mind,
hands outstretched
across the distance,
trying to bridge the space
with nothing but hope
and the weight of wanting to help.

How do I cross this silence?
I speak,
but the air swallows my comfort.
I listen, but it never feels like enough.
I care so fiercely,
yet stand here
powerless to lift what you carry.

If my thoughts could be a steadying hand,
if my love could guide you to light,
if my presence could be felt
without my body being near,
then know this:
you are not alone in the dark.

Even from a million miles away,
I am with you
in every way I can be.

I have friends who are hurting, and all I can do is offer them my words.
