Subways Of A Poetical Mind Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Traveling subways of this poetical mind, darkness en-
croaching upon every turn, matching the turmoil hiding
in corners of my mind along with pain and suffering.

Poetically writing and recognizing the important stance
it all has in life, being within me through all these
years.

Always allowing me to experience feelings and emotions
of it's depths, keeping me focused on the reality of
living.

Reminding me that everything is only temporary, saying,
'this too shall pass', waiting out each situation fully,
writing through every one of them.

Living to write, letting others know they're not alone,
that we've all felt similar feelings at one time or an-
other through the years.

Inspiring poets all over the world to acknowledge their
feelings and emotions through poetry and in turn helping
others to know it's normal to feel the way they do.

We're each individuals, yet united within by the way we
feel and experience sacrifices, hardships, joy and inner
happiness in similar ways.

Possibly in different degrees, but all can notice and ac-
knowledge these simple facts of our humanity in these our
temporary lives.
