Night like any other
Ordinary phone call
Bringing such bad news
Almost made me fall

Tears came down
Although I could not see
Sharp pains stabbed my heart
You bluntly told me

I couldn’t breathe
Nothing to say
Shock overwhelmed
Of that tragic day

The first call
Passed on from me
Sadness filled eyes
Of people who couldn’t see

Painful times passed
Memories remain
I tried to help
But tears would not refrain

I enjoyed this but it sounds like you are going through rough times. Gee, I hope things go ok.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Yeah, tough times are times for great poetry. I did like this one quite a bit, one of your better ones.

This is pretty sad. It was written well although it doesn't fully describe the situation so I'm kinda confused on that part. But, good luck and don't stop writing.
