Weight of the past
Stories we tell ourselves
Usurp the need to decide
Ahead that is unwritten
🔥
Brought forth from the dark
Serving the light
These emotions and words untamed
Understanding should guide our weary hearts
Let us have answers
Let these ring true
Everything good about me
Was once something the world had offered
🔥
Drawn forth
Towards that flame that won't die
Inertia finds a way
Are we truly free?
This is the only life I have known
A dream within a dream it seems
🔥
I'm not alone
I am here
Requiescat in pace
Authors note: I have been busy with work, so if I haven't had time to dedicate to Vocal for reading; but I plan to remedy that.

"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

It’s alright. We all need a break sometimes. I sure did, but I’m back and more ready than ever to read as much as I can. Great poem!
The burning rose really sets the tone. Drawn back from grief and inertia, to find the words that ring true. Really hypnotic.
Gorgeous poem, Jazzy! There are some truly mesmerizing lines in here. I also really loved the word "Requiescat"...brilliant work :)
Great poem and brilliant writing as always! Don't worry about reading everything. I took a break from reading on vocal recently and it really helped me absorb more writing when I came back! <3
Requiescat, I learned a new word today! This was such a beautiful poem!
