Blackout Poetry Notes

My Feelings

Imagine if
everybody
had my feelings.

Brief note to self:
give myself backbone.

Some people with feelings
light of heart
sense hope growing
as a reprieve,
deep and silent.

The moonlight glow
began to melt away the new
for an enchanted, old, unknown world.

I will write.
I will choose to
accept my destiny.

Forget fate and nature,
allow love
to be the strongest.

Close the book and watch,
in a thick drizzle
the rain pour down.

Open Alice's door to
words and worlds.
A stream-of-consciousness
and the brilliance of life.

A grim night in
my own prison, so much
time shut up
in the horror of a
nightmare as I feel powerless.

I long for
Grimm's fairy tales,
a good short poem
and hot tea.
