my soul cracked
i got 5 staples and some stitches
after the attack
my faith is only strong
myself, i'm fading

i cared so much for people
they were stars
i managed togetherness even after the lies

i feel so much profanity now
i got staples AND stitches
where have we
just when can we
and how should....

i've written about so many
the every and all of the above

is it just now the privileged can see
or is it still africa that's not allowed

My blood.... never
just enjoy a thought of a rapidly spreading plague
me, not ever
just don't point it at me

i pulled enough fingers to make 3 left hands of all thumbs
don't you dare think that I am numb

i am hurt, and i am angry
i am here and you are reading
i am still me just a little warped
because i got blown from the mountain
covered in ash
pelted by hot stone
and still walked into the face of death
because we are beautiful

because we are

shaking legs, tears, and turning

i am because poetry is
poetry is because we are

ISIS I'm here

there's a lot of feelings here. . . it's good to get them all out. . .

I am glad to see you are here CarolinaDreams.
I too have fallen from the mountain, I think the whole world has at present.  
I believe it was a reminder for us all, please read my current poem here in dark and see that I am just as confused, but I do believe misery, sorrow, shock, horror etc are sent to make us stronger.....
We can chuck in the towel or we can change and improve our circumstances, our little piece of the world, and then the rolling stone builds momentum and we spread our lessons with others, and more of the world is better etc.

I'm here always hon, take my hand, we'll climb up together this time... hands bound by flesh and understanding.. Come on!  I'm waiting...

Powerful feelings released here, take care!
