Warning to fellow "Word Nerds" and "Grammar Gurus"

Though I am an editor, I'm not going to sensor or edit my thoughts in this blog.
Hopefully, I don't make grammatical errors. If I do, get over it... I'm human!

My piece for the You Will Rise Project workshop

Here are pics of the piece I am putting into the exhibit.

The poems are too hard to read in the pics, so here they are.


Different!
Different!
Different!
Alone,
I stand.

Grasping!
Grasping!
Grasping!
Without
a hand.

Myself!
Myself!
Myself!
I try
to be.

Nothing!
Nothing!
Nothing!
Others
call me.

Alone!
Alone!
Alone!
Sinking
into a pit.

Falling!
Falling!
Falling!
Fearing
the hit.

Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Wanting
an end.

Help!
Help!
Help!
Needing
a friend.




To fight for
the you
who is true,
can make
you stand
on your own
for too long.

How can you
Feel that
you are a part
of something,
when others
treat you 
like 
nothing?

Being alone
is sinking
into a dark pit
of despair.

You can’t
get out,
because
no one
is there. 

Trapped, 
falling
far from
the top.
Never seeing
where
it will stop.
