Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Inspired by Ink Empress's poem ;0) I am NOT depressed but for some reason this poem just wrote itself this way.

Glass Winged Dreams

I tried to fly without white wings
I cried inside with soul dying
Broken spirit broken dreams
Can you hear it my black heart screams

I was asleep and yet awake
Nightmares so deep they escape
The well in me the hell in me
Tormented spirits keep jailing me

I hide my heart in my shoe
Like it is money or gold’s fool
I walk around limping in pain
For I hate sun and love the rain 

For sun makes clear all shadows
I’d disappear like a haunted ghost
Ever so near to holy hope
Depression is weird like me you know

Glassy eyes from teal tears fried
My heart broken my insides tied
Into burnt knots of mahogany
Lost in thought my glassy wings

Silent One August 25, 2024 at 9:52 AM I can see you were inspired by her words, you must be an empath to write like this... Karen Jones August 25, 2024 at 10:33 AM Her words were so powerful and beautiful that it inspired. Thank you Silent One.

Hilda Greenhough August 24, 2024 at 9:24 PM It is a deep, somber poem. I like how you show the other sides of sun and rain. Rain can be comforting when a person feels down. Karen Jones August 24, 2024 at 9:35 PM True. Sometimes rain is soothing. Thanks for liking.

Gershon Wolf August 24, 2024 at 8:23 PM Isn't depression fun to write about?! You get to tap into a whole new vocabulary and phraseology. (Seriously!). Excelsior, gw Karen Jones August 24, 2024 at 9:33 PM lol it’s different for sure Gershon
