sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
Grieving
We must face it I can't ignore the empty space in our living room The way we all wait for you to come home from work and open the front door once more
Remembrance
For some time now, I don't know why? I keep seeing your living room, Too many years have passed by. For as a child it was more home than home can be.

I am whole but not put together I am a whole entire mess of scattered pieces unnumbered with peculiar edges not knowing

This flesh burns like the rage of Helios. Boils form from the hot iron rods of self-hate, simmering and festering with each infliction.
Kourtney RisherPublished 7 years ago in PoetsThings People Have Said About Me
People have always called me funny. Whether it was because my laugh could instantly make anyone chuckle or because I always have a sassy or sarcastic comeback to any comment.

Butterfly, butterfly you're real How I truly wish to know how you feel Am I truly human because my humanity didn't come with the deal

There are so many words in this world. Most of them are okay, good even. Some of them share information. Maybe exciting.
