Thanks so much for sharing! I really loved the fourth stanza.”men, met me in my many states of mind.” With the alliteration in that line, it feels like a song or chant. It is always really awesome when words can evoke music. Great job!
LikeLiked by 1 person
you know me, i’m a huge sucker for alliteration and so i always try to find a way to incorporate it into my writings…as for the song and chant-like quality; that is perhaps owed to the fact that whenever i compose poetry, i like to have an emotional instrumental flowing from my playlist directly into my ears. and as always, thanks you so much for a wonderfully worded comment 😊 good day

I live like this every day there will always be storms brewing wanting to ripped everything from you.
Many decide to run or hide I’m sure you had others say time heals everything? …that is nothing more the decaying mirage of deception.Raw truth is they say this to find sense to comfort themselves to understand your aspiration of enduring time heals fucking nothing.
The Storm teaches you to live and endure embrace them.
