Dejure Chronicles
Part One
With the wires
on high towers
They couldn't
spread their wings
My guardian angels
but I saw them fly...
or an illusion
of them flying...
They gave me
the great hope...
but they didn't fly
They just jumped
from one tower
to another...
trying to grab
a piece of clouds
among others
who truly
had wings
~
I've learned
to jump
a bit over the
lower wires
hanging on
to the towers
flying on
winged companions
I lived an illusion
I enjoyed it
I believed
I could fly
as the towers
kept on growing
I couldn't cope
I was hanging from
where I couldn't even
see my grounds
Then..,
I had the greatest fall
crumbling down the towers
breaking every bone
losing all hope
to a dark pit

The author encourages honest critique.
The metaphoric imagery and clever formatting really add enormous impact to this awesomely brave introspection; giving the reader a clearly powerful and poignant look inside some harsh life struggles we all might be familiar with or extremely understanding of.
I admire and deeply appreciate this piece for it's guts and relatability, which is something that's not often talked or broached about much in many pieces of writing that I've found here on DUP ... The beautiful ache in the grappling is refreshing poetry at it's finest.
I absolutely look forward to part 2...or more.
Thank you for sharing with us, Vick

thank you so much B, thank you for understanding it perfectly.
and it took me a lifetime to realise some truths. it's more vital to stand by the truth, even if the truth may sound like an embarrassment. but you have a solid grip to take your next step steadily.
I'm so glad you liked it, thank you again.
