Braille Emotions.

by Courageous Dreamer   Sep 2, 2009


Depression--how strange it is for you
to visit me. I tried to stay clear of you
yet we ended up colliding in the end.

Random outbursts of cries shower down
upon me--blinding my sight of life. All
that's left is emotions scripted in braille.

It's hard for me to comprehend--
for braille is like a foreign language.
Unfamiliar those emotions are when
I touch them softly with my fingertips.

Uncertainty floods my mind as I'm
unsure of what to feel or how to react--
I guess I just have to keep on praying
that everything will be okay in the end.

    I really like the way you went with this piece Temps, comparing an unfamiliar emotion with something like braille, which truly many of us would not know. A very unique comparison to me. I also enjoy the hopeful ending, too many don't see that when they are strapped down by depression. I think you have penned something many can relate to, nice work.

    I like how your last line of your first stanza and the last line of your last stanza both said "in the end" I don't know if you did that on purpose but I liked it. This was a very well written poem. The diction wasn't as difficult as some of your other poems but I think that's good. This was a simple poem and that made me like it even more. Great work honey :) Nik
