First is sadness
A heart falling
Then comes madness
———
Where is gladness?
It's life stalling
First is sadness
———
A certain blandness
Is flavor calling?
Then comes madness
———
A curtain's slackness
Black veil palling
First is sadness
———
Lost in vastness
Life is galling
Then comes madness
———
A grief's exactness
Heavy heart hauling
First is sadness
Then comes madness

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.

This was so intense, poignant, emotional and relatable! You executed the Villanelle so brilliantly!
This is perfect. Love it.

a wonderful villanelle!
This is a perfect villanelle and a great subject. I have seen so many that "interpret the villanelle form" even getting Top Stories. If it doesn't keep to the form it is not a villanelle. Great work
