beyond this place, there be poetry

[galadryels]

I recently wrote two poems and I'm pretty proud of them, so posting them here. Feel free to let me know what you think!

I carry my sorrows endlessly
never faltering.

I tire
but never stumble.

I will rise:
stronger,
with you by my side,

together we can take on the world..

Anxiety is the background radiation of my life,
And man, is that Geiger counter ticking.

The constant lie of calm,
The persona of peace.

They drag me around by my nose,
until they fall
and then
and then

I am not a shell of myself,
I am a twisted core of discomfiture.

But as they fall,
I rise from the dust.
No bonds can hold me.
