Krista, such a sad sad poem. I think I know what this has to do with. At least you have it down in words now. But don't let it get to you too much. Shit happens. Huggles*
"so
tears keep falling to release the pain you've put on me."
^I never knew myself how big of a impact the word 'so' makes in poetry. It isnt something you want to use. It is not poetic and isnt something you should use. Just a heads up from what Ive been told from other poets on this site. So maybe just eliminate it & try to transition your thoughts with a better word or maybe just put a semi colon or something to separate them. Its up to you.
"are twisted by fear,"
`Maybe try 'twisted WITH fear"?? Something to consider possibly.
I really really loved this write. You did such an amazing job. Despite what has happened, you definatly do not lose a speck of hope but continue with life the way it should be. You should never stop dreaming - if you are a dreamer, you should never give up hope - if you are an optimist, ect. ect. You got the message across really well here, that you will not give up and you will live on despite complicated ways.
Well done Krista - thank you for letting me know you wrote this ; took some time to read it quick & glad I did. Keep it up hun.
