( written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #300 )
300 times you forgave me when I hurt you,
300 times you pointed out these mistakes being repeated all over, each time by very creative self expression,
300 times you have shown optimism on my assurance which was never sustained,
300 times you tried instilling some inspiration into me for our sake,
300 times you told how that was affecting our wholeness,
300 times when I breached my promise still found infinite potential in you to accept yet another one,
300 times I tested you for your tolerance,
300 times I made you stop your social-interaction out of my possessiveness,
If only What you have said now, was said earlier, probably I were what you wanted me to be on the very first time itself-
“I am leaving you, Honey….”
for the only thing in this entire world, I cannot live without is; YOU….
Good evening and see you next time.
Guidelines-
Welcome to Episode #300 of RXC!
t may not be a significant achievement to reach an incidental milestone. It had to come anyway, just as we walked through 100 and 200.
3 happens to be my personal number too, since I was born on the 30th day of the month. I looked up the numerological significance of the number and found 7 words that resonate with the spirit of this Challenge.
7 – I was born in the seventh month of the year, so the coincidence continues
A big shout out and thanks to all participants who kept it going with their brilliant contributions
And here we go with the prompt …..
The essence of the number 300 is a composite containing the ideas of:
- Creative self-expression
- Optimism
- Inspiration
- Wholeness
- Infinite potential
- Tolerance
- Social interaction
Choose any one or more of the above words, and use it as a theme, title or one of the words in your post. I guess this should be the easiest challenge that we have done so far.
There is no restriction on format of the piece. There is no last date either, unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
Any post that is found to be offensive, vulgar or something that hurts common sensibilities will not be included. This needs to be a safe space.
Create a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link in Comments. In case you are using a pingback, do check back to see if it has worked.

Touching piece!
My sincere thanks.
The importance of listening….! Very nicely expressed.
Yes, it indeed is. Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Very true! Instead of beating around the bush, a truth told the first time is most effective

A beautifully-written poem that evokes strong emotions. So happy that I was never in a similar relationship as that portrayed in your impactful poem, JM.
Ha..Ha.. I wish it for none in fact. Your story is read and gleefully enjoyed in one or two of your recent blogs. I wish the ‘mountain girl’ and the ‘delta boy’ all the very best. Thanks.
JM, that is so very kind! ❤ Thank you.
