• Alright I my last poem was dark and I have an idea for a new one that is brighter but kinda fits the last one.

    I stand beaten and bruised
    Bloody but unbowed
    And you tell me
    To just let it go
    That I don’t have to
    Try and carry the world alone
    That you’ll carry half of the pain
    Half the weight
    That I can put my armor down
    That it’s ok
    Even Heroes fall and need to be caught

    That’s when I feel
    Your arms around me
    And I know that I’m safe
    That I can let go
    That I’m not alone
    And I close my eyes
    And I drift away
    Letting all my pain show
    Letting you see all my scars
    And that’s when I know
    I never fell
    You just picked me up so I could rest

  • @Wicked_ Brightness always follows the dark Isn't that the way of things?

    The last struck an exposed nerve. This one suggests a sigh of relief. Each, in its own way very emotive. The imagery is brutal, and kind, and sharp, and vulnerable. Thoughts on joining the last two into a single one? :thinking:
