A Scary Place

So many times I'd found this world a scary place to live in But he brought a special calmness that restored my equilibrium Then cruelly he was taken as cancer stole my love away Distraught with grief I really did not want to live another day 15th January 2020 Contest Name: Arbitrium Divisa 6 Sponsor: Gregory Barden Taken from my Poem MY LIFE IN TEN Written 29th September 2019 2nd Place Contest: Story of my life in ten lines Sponsor: Silent One Contest Name STRAND SELECT 9 Sponsor Brian Strand HONOURABLE MENTION

So sad and your emotions are overflowing..Life gives lot of challenges..But death is defeat accepted..Whoever gone early will be followed..About the poem, too good to comment..
