Notes About The Poem

My Broken Places

Oh, today I died a little inside again,
I fell into a dark deep pit of darkness;
laying beaten and broken inside of me.
Do I have the power to fly up the steep tower?
Will I be able to soar before decay reaches my core?

Oh, today I died a little inside again,
and I am feeling so full of lost despair;
I keep pushing the sad memories away, away.
But, they come back to wash over me and attack,
I left the door open a crack and in came the black;
Wish I could put all my sad in a sack and never unpack.

Oh, today I died a little inside again,
and I have broken pieces that make up me;
yet, somehow I feel a new hope and strength.
My spirit says stop crying for you are no dying,
never give up trying and sorrow send away flying
the future I am eyeing and all tears I will be denying
so with one last sighing I move forward with all my being.

Constance La France February 8, 2019 at 7:39 PM This is a poem of unrhymed lines, and rhyming lines interwoven with inner rhymes, it can be any amount of verses starting with 5 lines, 6, 7, etc etc but I chose to do three verses. It is based on the Scripto form developed by Phil Capilano but I have tweeked it a bit.
