Scribbles and Simple Thoughts

I worry in darkness,
exposing a smile as he
passes by.

These insecurities choke
me at night, pillows muffle
tears, and it's simple enough
as this poem, to let it go..
just let the past blow away..

But a poet's mind in sorrow, works
far more complex than simplicity
of feelings and emotions.

I define this smothering as wisdom
of knowing what a broken heart
has seen, and facing the fear of a bitter
heartache, with strength to overcome-

Overcome my darkness...

I write across pages with creativity and madness
combined... but it's simple really-

I'm a woman poet, with the same insecurities
as most others.. I just paint a better picture
of sadness,
for true emotions are beautiful, whether good or evil,
they make me stronger and keep me alive,

and I breathe with whispers of looking at the sun for another day....
