Consciousness Correction

 

"Be like a lotus flower, open your petals to let go of fear and sadness."

                                                                        Quote by _Constance

I
grew
in 'fear'
with panic
and with suspicion.
Everyday was apprehension
filled with terror, anxiety, and great cowardice.
Fearful emotions filled my child's life when a tragic experience left me broken.

My
days
mournful
bleak with woe.
Oh, the deep 'sadness'
and the forlorn tears, and the gloom.
Most days I was just melancholy anguish, sadness,
I was all darkness blue woeful gloomy with long days a struggle to live & exist.

But,
one
morning
I rose up
and transcended life.
Fear and sadness left my mind, life
I was content in faith, joy, calmness, and happiness
with bravery courage trust love & cheer gladness & delight, happy to be alive.

Sam Kauffman December 4, 2023 at 11:12 AM Constance, congratulations on your win! I love the flow of this poem and the shape, so like a lily pad unfolding into a new "consciousness." And the way you started with third stanza perfectly stops the emotions of the first two stanzas alerting me to a new "a-ha!" Well done. Advent blessings of peace, hope, joy and love to you!

Constance La France November 14, 2023 at 12:50 PM Wow, those final 21 syllable lines are hard to to fit on the page with no roll over. It took me a while ! Constance La France November 14, 2023 at 12:57 PM I could have used another form but I really wanted to try this one.
