Poem -
To Quietly Suffer
A slow beat pumps the chambers of my deflated heartย
Dull and desolate poundsย
omit no sound
As quietly I fall apartย
Shadows drape and steal the natural light
Those beautiful hues fadeย
as I wade through life without sunlightย
Time drips and seeps reminders on my skinย
Mortality has set its sights withinย
To gently coil my soul so tightย
Until one day I clock out of this lifeย
For now, I fightย
Through gritted teethย
And silent tears my eyes wonโt weepย
Of stollen dreams when I canโt sleep
The darkness soon my soul will keep

Forlorn and hopelessness and loneliness and unending despair some souls suffer every day, the black dog always hungry and never sated.
A real power house of a poem Gwen that tackles a reader head on and thank heavens for you to write it and to make all take stock from and reflect on for what some endure.
Another terrific and engaging write and kudos to you for doing so my friend.

Thank you Shaun for your touching words regarding this piece. I think Trauma can really fester inside a person. It can bring about a physical and mental reaction. Given birth as you so well put it to ย โThat black dogโย
Thank you my friend for being so perceptive in nature x
