I am 58 years young. I used to write poetry all the time when I was young and life was easy. When life became busy I didn't have the time to write. Then in 2017 I lost my son and my world shattered and everything stopped. I recently started writing again and instantly remembered how therapeutic it is to write my feelings and emotions and memories in the form of poetry. I just came across this app and I'm going to start sharing some of my writings and see how it goes.
Sitting in this room
Overcome with gloom
Out of every corner
The darkness will loom.
...
Since you left every day is hard.
Holiday's aren't for celebrating
They are for faking smiles and laughter
While praying to survive.
...
I don't know why you did this, why did you treat me this way? Was it all just a game you like to play?
Did y'all sit around together and make up new lies and new alibis? Did you enjoy the tears you made me cry?
