sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
„In the Abyss of Solitude“
I took a deep breath, then another, until my lungs slowly filled with icy air, yet the knot in my throat remained unyielding. A desperate cough escaped me, and I sank, trembling and crying, onto the cold floor. Trapped in a Storm of cruel thoughts, I curled up and wrapped my arms tightly around my knees. Small and huddled, I lay there in my room, which was suffused with darkness and melancholy. The room mirrored my inner state, reflecting the turmoil in my mind, a place of unrest where thoughts swirled in chaotic whirl.

"WE HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY. Content Warning.
I saw the picture of a little girl floating face down next to her father and it just broke me hard! Illegals trying to cross to a better life. Even now as I write this preface I cry. I can only comfort myself by repeating to myself they are no longer suffering...while I wonder at the cruelty of those that look down on them and I wrote this poem out of pain!

Acquainted with the Night
I have wandered through the rain-soaked streets, feeling the chill of the night seep into my bones. I’ve walked beyond where the city's last flickering light fades into the vast unknown. My feet have carried me farther than the glow of civilization, where the city lights become distant memories. I’ve gazed down the most desolate alleyways, where shadows stretch long and lonely, and each corner holds its own silent sorrow.
