frustration dances around me
tension refuses to let go
stress compounded by 10
the nightmare will not end
the walls are still standing
I am composure and calm
not letting anything upset
refuse to accept reality
or else I will bloody well scream
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

These darker elements seem to have a life. They dance, refuse to let go, nor will they end.
ReplyDeleteThe courage and strength within you comes from a deep place that you have seen in others around you. Fake it 'til you make it comes to mind. I believe, more so, that the strength of those around you inspire you. Good for you for looking to others to inspire you.
Screaming comes later...when you have the time to simply disintegrate...before realizing a miracle has become a part of your history.
