Sounds

Tapping, creaking, sniffling, breathing, sighing, all sounds you will notice when you are being. Sounds that are annoying to others but are soothing to you, soothing because its an example of what it is like to actually be living. The things I would do just for the slight chance of not just being but living. Happiness is not a choice, it is an emotion; an emotion that not everyone can feel. Not everyone gets the joy of life. The feelings that no longer flood her heart. No longer does the smile a true smile, laugh a true laugh; its all just an allusion. An allusion that will fool you to believe she is okay, but in all reality she isn't okay, she is gone.

Mollie,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
