Grief to Joy

My head turns down
All alone

One more sad thing to remember
One more last hope
One more pain that grows

All alone sitting in quiet
The touch a tale
To escape this pain

A escape to feel happy
To a place I read
Take a look at something new
To make my pain disappear
To share in a dream of another
To learn to be hopeful

Hope spreads
A positive affliction

  1. There's a grammar mistake. In the 4th stanza, it should be an escape instead of a escape. Just being my annoying grammar nazi self. This isn't the blended poem right? Great poem. I'm guessing it's talking about the transition from depression and sadness to being positive because of hope.

  2. I love this poem (grammar error and all!). It speaks to me, because I too find an escape in books and they can turn a bad day into an incredible journey. Thank you.
