Poems About Support by Top Critiquers

It is better if you lie awake
then to visit any dream.
As you can recall,
they are currently nightmares.
The rising heat
keeps you bare-skinned.
Hand me your heart
I will untangle you
and bring back your fire.

You do not need to know how to travel.
You do not need to hide you are art.

Brought a boat for you.
The seas are calm
and we sway
with the ocean's journey.
Let us escape to a time
when you were once whole.

You were made perfect.
So unique that you were left hollow.
...

there they were
still laid up at 7:16 am    
he stayed up    
all night comforting her    
in her loss    
    
in one of      
the most trying moments      
of her life    
he decided to be    
more than just a gentleman    
he gave her    
his gentle soul to rest    
her head upon    
     
he kept his clothes on    
undressed his ego    
just so he could address    
the tender rawness of her emotions    
from a place of    
genuineness compassion    
and empathy...

This is goodbye
so please don't think that
we are a community.
Many of us would agree that
writing is a lonely task
so don't try to convince me that
encouragement will help
because
writing in isolation
is better than
bouncing ideas off one another.
Moreover,
I'm incapable of self-expression.
It would be wrong to think that
all of you are creative
because
not all of you are valued;
it's just not true that
I'll miss you!
