Thanks :-) In many ways it was written by a completely different person, or at least from a completely different perspective ;-) Way back in 2003, just suffered my first serious heartbreak and feeling dramatic as hell because it seemed like the world had actually ended lol...
I've decided to break out my old poems as part of a new project, to reconnect with my past, to put some old struggles into a modern perspective. I've found it rather reassuring to see how much has changed for the better :-)
Absolutely ... I felt it was a different person writing it entirely but it was extremely well-written. i have been combing the backlogs as well and so much of the stuff just doesn't resonate with me now. Too negative.
I was about to say it sounds like a shadow of your bright and positive posts. Now I know why. It just shows we all hurt and we break sometimes but that makes us stronger.
I can honestly say that every positive and inspired thought I hold, every lesson I offer came through rebuilding myself anew first hand. I like to give these older poems airtime, because some people think I was either always like I am now or that I have no idea what I'm talking about... But I have seen absolute darkness and so have learned to turn on the light :-)
Would you be up to a challenge? :) I don't know if you have checked @d-pend's post yet. https://steemit.com/steemitschool/@d-pend/announcing-the-steemit-school-poetry-100-day-challenge
I might just give that a look, may prove interesting :-)
