Thankful
I can't seem to say it
My mind is split
Bitter and cold
There are too many old
Memories and pains
Bruises and sprains
A broken attitude
I can't feel gratitude.
Perhaps I should
If I could
Show a little
Take a knife and whittle
Down the trauma
Forget the drama
And move on
It hasn't been long.
Thank you.
Thank you for the experience
For the growth
For the future I have now
Thanks for the good things
The necessary things
I'm alive.

The line
spoke to me. It expresses the truth that even working on trauma or memories of trauma can itself be painful. I think it was a good choice to separate the stanzas with the images; it provides a necessary beat; the progression of thought would be to quick otherwise. Finally, I like how you show the shift to gratitude in the final stanza by dropping the rhyme. Nice job.
Nice one. Thank You! 🙂
Great 🔥🔥
This is so deep. I felt every line from this piece. I pray we don't find ourselves in such situations of not being grateful because appreciation is an application for more.
Beautifully written
This speaks to me, and I can relate to these challenging feelings at times too. Awesome piece.. I enjoyed reading your work.
