Like None of It Happened
It all began when she decanted the bottle
And spilling it all over her favorite white dress.
She has lost her control and foot on the throttle.
Mascara running down her face, leaving a mess
Of tears and humiliation behind. She could no
Longer become the strong woman her mama
Raised her to be and always taught to go slow.
She is no stranger to being left behind or trauma
From the heart that bleeds out like crimson wine.
She is feeling free walking along the train track,
Her spirit and calloused hands that intertwine
With the chained fence. Everything feeling black,
But suddenly wishing she could put the cork back.
And spilling it all over her favorite white dress.
She has lost her control and foot on the throttle.
Mascara running down her face, leaving a mess
Of tears and humiliation behind. She could no
Longer become the strong woman her mama
Raised her to be and always taught to go slow.
She is no stranger to being left behind or trauma
From the heart that bleeds out like crimson wine.
She is feeling free walking along the train track,
Her spirit and calloused hands that intertwine
With the chained fence. Everything feeling black,
But suddenly wishing she could put the cork back.

Your style of writing is AMAZING! No matter how dark or negative the scenario in your writes, you ALWAYS manage to showcase (display/implement) maturity and gracefulness in the write. The gentle gracefulness weaved in this write is NO different than in the MANY others you've written. It's not a POEM-style, it's YOUR style! I more than love the writing-talent you display, I ADMIRE your gift!
Ever consider turning your scripts into books - at least self-publish (which is less-costly)? Your book would seem to be a delightful DAILY DEVOTIONAL read! Just a thoughtful suggestion to consider some time...:)

Oh wow. Thank you so much Cyndi!! I greatly appreciate it. And yes, I have definitely considered putting my own collection of poetry out there (you aren’t the only one who has suggested it). It is something I want to work on for this year. Once again, I thank you!
