Jessica Jones Poet Rhyme

Searching

Born from the chaos that welcomed me with a closed fist
Eyes open wide with the taste of anxiety upon my lips
I tuck myself away deep into my mind
Somewhere other than here will be just fine
Is it safe to emerge from the depths of my own despair?
Or should I dwell a little longer, and ponder, how I've become so self aware
The sad little naive girl grew up to view the world through a cracked and broken lens
Crawling through shards of bloodied glass to find a love that would just make sense
Unaware that the kind of love she desired would never show up
That kind of love appears within when you've filled your own cup

Jude Herrick September 28, 2025 at 9:36 PM It is true that it is a life exercise —to keep the glass half full and not half empty, isn't it? So many suckerpunches, all of them low blows as you swim back to the shoreline, the reset back to nirmalcy. But remember, it is there, beyond the black clouded fog that obscures the view. Those clouds, that fog, lies all of them, telling you that there was never a time without them. Remember the good, the true, the truth that will return. Give it a confident frilly place of welcome.

Life is so very beautiful and I've never felt so happy. I started looking within and when I healed, a brand new life came from it and I couldn't be more thankful.
