When you’re heartbroken
All you want is to be healed,
Given a chance
To love again.
Better.
Or do you just
Fuckin’ forget it,
And let the negative
Stain the paper
Forever.

My apologies for the curse word. The other choices I had failed to get my point across.
Your strong letters of disappointment can be filed under the letter F. 🤓

Nowt wrong with the occasional swear word… like the poem fiery one.

Had a bad accident the day before Easter. Lot of pain and damage that will take awhile to move out of my world. It landed on top of my other challenges of the moment. I could see what was lost or the beauty of all that was left. Easy choice, I’ll take the beauty. It gives me time to be here today doesn’t it?
Don’t waste time staring at the negative.

There’s something nicely alliterative about this one, but somehow it feels a bit jarring to read the rawness of emotion. (I’m not being critical, okay — I just find it hard to be so emotionally open on the page — or screen. That’s what makes YOU the poetess, not me, ha!!) xx

I know, it is shocking. Just know I contemplated a different route and not sharing this at all. Sometimes a window into another side is helpful. Human. (Just takes time, Poetess. ♡) Thank you..

I think the F word was just right. Gotta ask yourself, how much stain can the paper take?
