Jessie Conner Poet Free verse

A Short Halt

Silence surrounds
me in this
dark, dark place,
no one can see me
because of my
sad, sad face. 

I chose to
come across this
way in a time
of sadness
just maybe for
today

you didn't do
this, it wasn't your
fault
I put my life
on my own halt

I had to think 
about what my
life holds
a big problem
or being bold

it was a 
time to be 
thinking a lot
which felt
like I 
was dying
in a melting pot

but as timed 
faded shortly away
I could
 feel the
turns across
my face.

I changed 
from sad to
 something more
that found its
way to me
through my open doors.
