Hello Ciara,

you are on a roll...

I like this format. Probably more so than your last. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder eh?

The rhyming couplets are effective in that they are spaced and allow this reader to digest their content.

A dark theme again and one that many on here will relate to. Darkness: a feeling of loneliness and despair. A feeling that no one understands or even cares. With all this frustrated anger going no where one often internalises it.

This is my favourite couplet, a real dark one too: Around your throat grasps its cold, dark hand
Dragging you down where no one understands.

Excellent! :O)

Getting these feeling out on the page and sharing is an excellent way to heal.

Keep on writing.

Take care,

Michael

I truly agree with your words.
Nice piece.

A vey well written and well rhymed piece, Ciara. Well done and welcome to the site - great to see some new talent.
All the very best,
Ben

I think you mean "Accept," instead of "Except".

You are a poetic spirit. I empathize with this poem, every word is to me as wondrous as the thought by which it was inspired.

A word, to console;

Reality is no more (and no less!) than the reflection of your psyche on the mirror of perception. I suggest that you read my poem, 'Fading Mirror.'
