Drowning in Self-inflicted Sorrow Arts numériques par Barry Farley Visual Arts | Artmajeur

ALONE IN WORDS I cower from the rumbling squall of loneliness and shrink from the shards of misdirected words. The mantle of hope escapes my ambitions, forever silencing my courage. I am drowning in discontent. From Brainstorm 10/16/2018 For Divisa 4 Poetry Contest 02/25/2021

It's a very powerful liness dear friend Charlie. Although I would have appreciated it more, if you had not ended the poem with a note of discontent. Struggles and obstacles come not to make us weak but to make us more strong. My apologies that I missed your comment on my Poem on my poem Tribute on Mother's Day dt 14 th May 2019. Hope to see more soon on your page. With best wishes..Ravindra
