The Writing On the Wall

When looking back on thoughts of despair, words in haste so hard to bare. Where sharp tongues take control, shaking the mind while crushing the soul. Speaking words from the heart, stern but true, brings hard thoughts into review, it’s hard to smile and easy to weep, hard to stand on tender feet. Like the hand that wrote on the wall brings remorse as feelings fall. …….Written through the night, don’t really understand it and yet I do. I can’t recognize myself in this poem. This poem wrote itself and that is why I kept it.

Right on! I've noticed that when life goes as you described and you apply your sincere self to the ride, there are infinite blessings on the other. I enjoyed the emotional component in your write because it FELT like a reveal of your depths. Have we meet? I'm silly tonight, but truly enjoyed your write. Blessings ... CayCay
