Navigating Through the Curves

her hope slipping like bare tires on wet roadways she can't navigate through the curves of this crazy life she's spinning out of control an emotional wreck unable to break free she is somber like these winter days raining down on her her tears gather together in a stream of pain as muddied as the puddles on these roads she travels alone

Great write, Sandra! I feel her aloneness. It’s no good to be stuck in chaos with no one to lean on.

Sad my friend, deeply sad and lonely, Grab that wheel and navigate to a place of smiles and happiness. It is there waiting for you. Still, your poem is beautiful as everyone has come to know when they find your page. Amazing work Sandy

Hi Sandra, This is such a sad and well written write. You captured someone feeling lost, confused, and feeling alone very well. You excel at writing poems about raw emotions. Good job- Alexis
