Tuirse

I have been in unequaled turmoil,
Overused in my personal trauma,
Drowning in tear rivers of tragedy,
Soul dipping southward trajectory,
But they do not seep from these eyes,
Nor do they follow the cries,
Just the heavy emptiness that thrives,
Within each breath hope in me dies,
But then there are those who remind me,
Why I have walked the road of words ardently,
Thank you for reigniting my linguistic dream,
I want you to know, 
that you are the intrinsic thread that holds my spirit seem.

It can be difficult to deal with, when you feel like you're ' drowning in personal drama. ' So wonderful when you have others there to help you. Even better knowing that God is always near. Congratulations Angela, on Poem of the Week. My best to you, and welcome to Poetry Soup. Hugs, Brandy

Welcome Angel AKA The dungeon keeper/ mistress of dungeon. I'm so glad you took the plunge and joined poetry soup as more people should know about your incredibly talented ink. I enjoyed the transparency and resilience of you piece. That shift from despair to gratitude? Absolutely breathtaking. Thank your for sharing your light through the weight of your darkness.
