In sadness I fly
on what could be,
what should be.
In madness I try
to find vic’try,
make his’try.
In gladness I cry
I’m empty,
can’t touch me.
And then I break down.

I really like this one :)
I’m glad! Thanks for reading :)
Good one :)
Thanks, Subh. A lot of emotions, lately, and not all of them fit for prose. ;)
excellent! How do you do it…? it seems effortless…
Thank you! You are too kind. This one took a little maneuvering. It was fun. :)
Beautiful photo Jessica. Is it yours? I’m sure you were there. I would love to see before I die. Keep writing. Love your prose/poetry!!!
Terri, you got me. I had been meaning to put up the photo credit. No, I didn’t take it. I wish! I’m hoping to make it to Europe in the near future, so maybe I *will* see some places like this… I’m glad you like what I write. Thank you so very much for reading and commenting! It means so much to me. :)
Admittedly, your poetry is so well written it hurts to read the emotion between the stanzas sometimes. But the beauty of the words heals. As always, nicely done.
Thank you so much, Ned. That means so much! I didn’t used to think I could write poetry. I guess I was wrong.
Way wrong, Jessica ;)
Very touching poem, Jessica. I feel it right here (heart).
Thank you so much! And thanks for taking the time to comment! An angel is very happy right now thanks to you. :)
Awesome photo to go with the poem.
Thank you, Lilly Sue! Thank goodness for the Internet. ;)
beautiful
thank you :)
Such a tragic end, but its imitation to life makes ‘walls’ a special piece of work.
Based on real-life experience, at that. Thank you, Kendall. Glad you liked it. This poem is still one of my favorites.
Congratulations on your nomination – 2013 Best Poetry/Spiritual Healing post
