i am no longer lost in the labyrinth of your twisted mentality i kiss the lips of freedom once you drove me insane in the brain now stubborn stains wash away i will never bleed again as i liberate my mind from your shackles of sorrow my suppressed spirit soars watch me fly i collect every shattered shard of hope place them in my heart my faith heals each crack for all the tongues silenced all the hearts broken i fail to hate you i thank you for the lessons pangs of passion refuel a desire to dream as flames rekindle no rain can extinguish yesterday i fell like sunset in a storm today i am a tropical sunrise there is treasure in adversity simple musing silent one 17 November 2019

My favorite line: "I fail to hate you." I love the format you chose, with a pattern of bolded lines that rise above the rest. This is uplifting and liberating.

Very uplifting "musings" conveying wonderful indirect advice to learn from hurts rather than being bitter and vengeful, S.O. Favorite line: "Today . . . sunrise." Janice

Wow in unique poetic style you rise above the shackles and troubles and fly like a free bird . This indeed could apply to various suffocating problematic relationships and how you express is awesome and sublime with the weather and bird metaphor that I like to use sometimes as well. Kudos. Best best wishes however and wherever you fly. Will be sending you a poem Mail on the political issue shortly, do chk your mail.
