Life in Poetry

People gather to listen to the

Opening of a soul’s speech, where

Emotions are exposed in the

Trials and tribulations of life.

Reality comes crashing down on that stage.

Yells and hollers encourage

Bringing together the audience in support.

Revolving thoughts of related experiences

Interconnecting all persons in the emotion.

Never one to interrupt.

Gathering, they listen

Showing support to experiences shared.

Little does everyone realize this accomplishment.

I am standing in the spotlight, all eye on me.

Facing the fear that has held me back so many years.

Everything goes silent when I open my mouth.
