Comfort
By CD
A wounded soul,
A broken heart,
A battle for mental repairment.
I compare your tone with the look in your eyes,
To your embrace which states explicitly in utter silence.
You do not have to speak for fatigue rules,
The contour of your body’s aura, for you had personified importantly in principle.
It’s still there beneath your skin?
Strength and truth!
Comfort and power!
Fire that burns your drive!
The elegance of your character,
Think of the air you breathe?
A FRESH START

Hi there,
I really like the message of your poem, as actions speak louder than words and despite what one goes through, resilience can help you retain your spirit. I like how you used punctuation and variations in sentence length to convey your message and emphasize certain parts of your poem. Nice work!
CD, your poem captures the struggle of a wounded soul and a broken heart wanting and waiting for mental repair. It’s about finding strength in silence, in the unspoken understanding between people. Despite weariness, the poem talks about the power of self the potential for renewal, or a fresh start. It’s a raw reflection on resilience in the middle of life’s obstacles.
The strength, truth, comfort, and power hidden beneath the surface symbolize resilience and the potential for transformation if someone really wants it.
Overall, this poem gave me hope. Even though the past 7 months have been full of brokenness due to my grandmother’s death, deep down inside I still have a fuel that drives me to unlock my full potential. To be the best person I can be. Thank you for this.
