Alone In Words

ALONE IN WORDS

I cower from the rumbling squall of loneliness 
and shrink from the shards of misdirected words.
The mantle of hope escapes my ambitions, forever silencing my courage.
I am drowning in discontent.

It's a very powerful liness dear friend Charlie. Although I would have appreciated it more, if you had not ended the poem with a note of discontent. Struggles and obstacles come not to make us weak but to make us more strong. My apologies that I missed your comment on my Poem on my poem Tribute on Mother's Day dt 14 th May 2019. Hope to see more soon on your page. With best wishes..Ravindra
