Description
Inside a pool of lossStitched in varied shade
Losing count of the costs
And the hopes as they caved
Grief, a skin I wear
With a taste for despair
I can’t seem to get away
Shadows wait, forever there
Eyes strain, wide-awake
Every breath I forsake
Worn smiles spread
While sewing thread to a fate
Holding on, I lie in wait
Carving holes inside of hate
I’m pressing on for more
As I clean a dirty slate
It’s that one step toward something new
Where breathing feels easy again.

Sometimes it's just fun to write off the top of your head like this, and I love how something as seemingly simple as breathing is given such a complexity in this piece.

Thank you
A lot of my writing, poetry wise, is off the top of my head, or start as 2 stanzas that pop to mind that i jot down in my phone to continue later on. In a way I look back at certain poems I've written and feel there will be no comparison to a few of them for my future pieces because it's often events in our lives that create a powerful poem.
Otherwise the darkness would just rip us apart 
Anyways, I rambled, thanks for checking it out.

Life's events frequently serve as a great way to inspire poetry, yes. And because of that, as you put it, they are able to stick out from the rest and have their own identity.
