A Daisy For You

Yes expressions tell very little of what's going on with a person on the inside, hope things get better dude

Very exposed words
Enjoyed it

I'm glad you enjoyed it

Nicely composed yet the eyes can't hide what one feels deep within the subconsciousness of your mind and the deepness of your heart and soul even behind wearing a mask as a smile..respect brother

I love the last stanza. It’s the metaphor of you being a useless lock to be discarded that gripped me. And then to think that in death, going back to the ground will leave a new opportunity for someone else to have the happiness that you weren’t able to find makes it seem almost worth it.
Thank you for your artistry.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the imagery.

Despair and anguish..  but knowing that there is some good even in death!

Dark insightful reflection, as deep as it gets.

Firstly, I was a professional photographer for well over a decade who shot for major businesses and non-profits, even sports teams for the experience. This is a really good shot of the daisy backdropped with the cross. It's a very profound photo that says so much in so few words.

Secondly, the poem:  is very reflective of the image; however, it would also work without it. It does make one wonder what we are able to offer in death except that which grows upon our own graves. The essence is very nicely conveyed.

Thank you for reading. Check out my photography pages?

this is an incredibly poignant poem but it's filled with beautiful sentiments inbetween what isn't conveyed in words which is just as powerful as the words written, also the contrast between what others see and what you're feeling made this incredibly raw and real for many people who struggle with anxiety, that last line is incredibly powerful as a finish and bleeds a humbleness not many would feel or think of, it brought a edvard munch quote to my mind which says "from my rotting body, flowers shall grow and i am in them and that is eternity" which i felt this poem aligned with in its own little way

thank you for sharing fellow :)
