The first half of March

So… I wrote this cool poem and I wanted to record it. But only the first half came out right. Anyway – so you, dear readers, get the full thing and those who listen only get half. But please listen anyway, because it sounds just how I want!

March

I’m just trying to know things

trying so hard

like, is February always difficult

and March always sad?

or is it just this year

and has something gone bad

cos I hope

it’s just my brain

come to trick me again

and maybe the dark

is always

just a lack

of light

I wait

in shadows, hoping

for something

to come out right

i understand how you feel Claire, it is tough to feel overwhelm and devastated sometimes or for some period of it . Nice poem indeed , i am related to it .

I love the way it ended with a question, it keeps the reader wondering, thinking. But I like the whole piece too. Lovely voice for spoken word poems. Well done!
