"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works." Virginia Wolf


Day by day,
My body decays,
As the waves,
Of pain,
Grow stronger.
Day by day,
My heart breaks,
As I see my life,
Waste away.
I lie awake,
Shivering,
As my heart,
Grows cold,
From the pain,
Made day by day.

This is saying how when someone says we have cold hearts, we believe them and we think that it's just getting colder. Please comment!

Brilliant work.
To whoever may read,

It seems as though we are all gathered around this temple. And this temple is your poetry - quite perfectly encompassing what this wasteful and painful life we have. I am here to tell you that this is not the case. If you are reading this, you have eyes, if you are scrolling you have hands, breathing in this moment, is not quite pleasant as many times we begin to envy the dead. But we mustn't, there must be more to life than this. I know for a fact we were not put on this planet to give in, or just settle with average. We were built to strive for the best we can be, through all the barriers, we simply, have two decisions. To give up and deny the wall is even there, or figure out a way around it. You will fall, you will lose, but will you fight. Words may not do justice to your suffering. But, nevertheless, I wish you health, wisdom, and most importantly, happiness.
