Weep

Sorrow is the word of the walk around The more you tread, it heaps abound. You curve your lips to mend the world And everyone around is a story unfurled. You listen, rapt with attention For you have to know the flow to dam the river. You find a way to reach subjugation Weild the soothing hand to their tremor. Every whisper, every sob, every desperate shout; You condone every cry. Futile it may seem, you're full of doubt, But never do you cease to try. And then comes the point festered. You want to be the sheep Tired of tending akin a shepherd Just sit down alone and weep.

Your poem is so emotional. It has some lovely lines. I was personally moved by "Wield the soothing hand to their tremor." You have handled this subject with great sensitivity. Obviously, you have felt this way yourself. Hopefully, you are not shouldering "the point festered" by yourself. A truly sad piece. Welcome to soup. We hope you share more of your poetry with us.
