sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
Sanctuary
if I were the Virgin Mary you would be my sanctuary and you’d protect my virtue with your own precious life but these days I’m running
“Stranger”
I feel like a stranger in my own life, counting the stars as the years pass by. Wondering if my dreams are too heavy for me to bare.

She Used to Make Me Tea
Flame and filled kettle Mingle on the stove until Air escapes the spout. // Liquid meets black leaves, A dance of water and earth
Narcosis
Short supply of air I'm tired. The surface too far. I'll float once I'm dead

Savage eruptions The very air roasts my lungs Curse of ash and flame ///// Why did I not run? Who could hope to run from this?
Danielle KelleyPublished about a year ago in PoetsThoughts from a Fearful Mind
The mind is a strange thing. It tells us how to think, feel, work, play, be. It's both logical and emotional, stubborn and timid. A whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that differs from one person to the next.

Note from me: Before you start reading, I would like to disclose that this "song" is purely fictional, and has dark undertones. It can be triggering to some. You see, I am blessed and/or cursed with nightmares and dreams every night. Call Me Ms. G! is one of the songs that play in my nightmares. The second is Forgive Me, Father; and now the third song: In Christ We Trust. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the melody during my waking hours. All I remember was that the genre would most likely fall under Gothic Rock. Anyway, in my manic state, I got up at 3 am every day to write down the lyrics! Would you believe me when I say that it's a whole album? In my nightmares, I remember perusing through "the variant" of Spotify. Then there I saw the album called Holier than thou - The Nightmare Melodies. Well, here's the third song on that album! Enjoy :) P.S. the album logo is almost identical to my book cover House of Trials - Soul Exchange P.P.S. If you would like to know first what this song is about, scroll down and read my note :)

Frequently asked Questions
I waited and lasted and even stopped crying. I feel the tears prick the back of my sight when I think too much. But I push them away now cause it’s exhausting being this sad.
Reverence
fire cremates the flesh, the remains are reverent, in our memories

"The Human Swarm" We are but ants in a colony, Crowding streets and buildings, Shoulders brushing, lives entwining, A never-ending throng of humanity.

The leaves fall gently to the ground As we walk hand in hand, Our hearts entwined, forever bound. The sun sets on our last walk together,
