    A Confession: Part Two

    Midway through my life, I cannot go on. Middle of a winter storm, too blind to trek on.   The struggle of having to embrace psychosis, has been very painful, rendering me blind.   Blind and deaf to a world that rejected me, blind and deaf...

    The morbid hue of death awaited uswhen I made that last promise to you.Vanity! I already sensed the vanity,that delicate moment when our trust lived. For the life of me, however, I don't know why.Why I let go, why I...

    • I am so sorry for your loss.

    • Hey Brenda, I’m very sorry. You wrote what you needed to say. Courageous woman you are. Take care.

      Daniel

    • Wow, this hits home in a way that leaves me at a loss for words. I lost two uncles and a cousin to drug addiction, and I have a wife with a mental illness. Both get looked down on by society. Sorry to hear this, friend. My heart goes out to you.

    • Brenda, this breaks my heart. 💔 I’m sending you hugs & prayers for your boy, your family & you. This line choked me up:

      neither hispanic or white

      My daughter is half Mexican & half German…neither fully accepted in either. She’s always said she has no place of belonging. Why does society do this to our babies? So many hugs, Brenda ❤️

      • I am German also and my boy Mexican German as well…thank you sweet lady for the love here it’s deeply felt hugs on your daughters shared grief yes they are just kids really ❤️

    • I’m hugely impressed with your understanding of poetic element.
      So, you are Richard the Rascal. Let me put that down. This is another amazing piece with emphasis on personification and symbolism. There’s obviously a metaphorical significance to the changing season, specifically fall to winter. It’s interesting to note that while you give leaves many characteristics of humans in this piece, they lack the unique capacity for understanding… at least, that’s the perspective of the speaker. Your final stanza is a fantastic summation.

      This is top shelf material, Richard.
      xoxo

      • Graciously spake, Dear Poetess🥂

        Your coaxing words are sweet as honeysuckle to a hopeful bard’s susceptible ear … most especially, from one so poetically accomplished and sophisticated as yourself.
        A few devices I tend to favor are color, texture, analogy, simile, and nature … I’m so pleased you’ve recognized their presence in this rather poignant little piece.

        Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady DK, for your always welcomed accolades! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌

    • Hi, M’Good Friend! ✌🏼

      How great it is, Tim, to be greeted here with one of your appreciatively expressed and inspiringly encouraging reviews, that always seems to grasp my poetry’s core essence.
      Yes, like You, I tend to enjoy a good dose of metaphoric imagery in my pieces.

      Thank you, Syr, for enjoying this rather sad Free Verse piece! ⁓ Rascal🖌

      PS: On your recommendation, I had to check the site out … do you know how one edits their poetry?
