I write so that my heart can survive
I know that only poetry can revive.
There are things I can't tell anyone
They think I'm silly or just having fun.
Writing keeps my sanity, helps me stay right
Helping me not to give up without a fight.
Like, a sorry is more than an emotion
When hello becomes a goodbye, a teary solution.
Maybe my heart is made up of glass
Too fragile to face life's tough class.
Grief is a bruise that pain cannot control
I'll try to wear a band-aide on my soul.
This poem looks for the right lines, words
To convey all of the emotions stirred.
I still feel short on what I have to say
I think, I still found a way to, anyway.
Maybe, this is not a poem at all
Just my keyboard going for a spin , to sprawl.

I’m liking all the verses. This one ‘Grief is a bruise that pain cannot control

I like the imagery you used! I guess we humans are all born with hearts made of glass. I still remember a similar comparison in Kenzaburo Oe’s “The Changeling” where the main protagonist hangs the sign “Fragile” on himself in the airport. I guess the most beautiful verses and phrases and words are all born from these broken glass hearts π
