Scribbles and Simple Thoughts

by Maple Tree   Feb 2, 2014


I worry in darkness,
exposing a smile as he
passes by.

These insecurities choke
me at night, pillows muffle
tears, and it's simple enough
as this poem, to let it go..
just let the past blow away..

But a poet's mind in sorrow, works
far more complex than simplicity
of feelings and emotions.

I define this smothering as wisdom
of knowing what a broken heart
has seen, and facing the fear of a bitter
heartache, with strength to overcome-

Overcome my darkness...

I write across pages with creativity and madness
combined... but it's simple really-

I'm a woman poet, with the same insecurities
as most others.. I just paint a better picture
of sadness,
for true emotions are beautiful, whether good or evil,
they make me stronger and keep me alive,

and I breathe with whispers of looking at the sun for another day....

    The simplicity of this poem is great yet there is so much more to it. A poet's mind is always running wild and does often have to find the deepest depths and fears of their soul. It's really hard to write a "sad" poem that's unique but here you make the readers heart feel. I kinda see this like you are writing this for yourself like a journal. Though somehow you are speaking to the audience at the same time. I'm not sure how to explain it lol. The poem is about the insecurities about how a poet can feel about their past and how hard it can be to write about it. Our inner monologue is dying to escape. And you did well to pour your heart out. The ending line is wonderful! You are just hoping the sun will be your alarm clock tomorrow. Beautiful! !
