these volumes of sadness
that pour out of me
are they my weakness
or my strength?
these tomes of madness
attributed to me
are they my salvation
or are they my doom?
this departure from gladness
i dive, fall and spiral
are they dreams
or paths ahead?
this illusion of radness
(or how ever you want to say cool)
is it really real
in part or whole?
this aura of badness
i cant seem to shake
my shackles, my albatross
ill-fated saviour tactics
these periods of flatness
no high point, no lulls
this future, this zing
simply becomes zedless

I have an eBook, a collection of my favourite pieces
When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Oooo, I loved the rhyming that you did with -ness! This was flawless! Perfection!
Third beaker is looking a little low, time to top it up! I like the word Radness. “Ill fated saviour tactic”… hmm… So many meanings in this poem and I hope the volume is turned up on your end a little louder soon!
This Piece is Sadly Brilliant 😉🧡📝👍
