Veins

by Gracy Judith   Sep 24, 2020


why do you ache
in heavy strokes of despair?

Why do you laden your heart
with nothing but pain?

the sunshine
and rain
in you
are capable
of raising flowers.
you should never
have to be ashamed
for the magic
you carry
in your veins

    Like a tree, no matter how hard the storm blows, the tree will stand when it's roots are strong. When that tree understand it's strength, it'll stop worrying when the clouds darken.

    Take care.

    I'm so glad this is nominated. I'm not sure how I didn't read this till now but wow.

    I've been absolutely floored since reading the opening lines

    "when failure befalls,
    why do you ache
    in heavy strokes of despair
    and don
    all the synonyms of pain?"

    like !!!

    I really hope to see this on the front page
