what are poems made of? | Ann Garcia @solaceinraindrops

bittersweet
derived from a darkest day
roasted over fire of misunderstandings
ripe for contemplation
denied hopes
crushed to powder
most powerful after festering in my belly
then pressed into tenacity
grudging trust
(im)balance of will and fate
hidden notions resting on my tongue
burst when released
self-belief
whispers and shouts
dreams whipped until they feel beautiful
dressed in me
