Thank You All


The soul is such a complicated thing It can be filled with joy and laughter one moment And filled with a feeling of utter despair the next It's the most mysterious of human traits It can take the smallest thing to make the pendulum swing Some happenings can effect our moods more than others But we are strong enough to overcome them I'm afraid I don't fall into the that category My ups and downs can be quite extreme at times Very extreme highs and very extreme lows I try my hardest not to be too sensitive But for people like me, it's nearly impossible It's inherent in who I am Perhaps this is what allows me to write To express my feelings I often disguise the true inner me with humour It's my way of coping But my life would be missing a major part Without friends to share my poetry Thank you all!

Your free verse poetry is amazing! Sensitivity really is a strength. It is something that I have always admired about you along with your ability to be lighthearted even during darker times. I like your vulnerability in this piece. Sensitivity is what makes us human - it's a beautiful thing. "I often disguise the true inner me with humour It's my way of coping" - I understand this... big hugs. Always, Laura
