Bang, You’re Dead

Primal Screaming With Friends

By JPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Sonata as soliloquy: Echoes,

In and out; Of me, as my heart, skipping beats

Like stone. A cross. A still. Yet, stormy sea beneath which

Emptiness abounds: That it is once more mine, alone;

'No longer' seems as daunting, or as wanting as my

Ceding partial rights to the light I once shone freely.

Even in the deepest dark, life's seed sprouts anew; Aloud.

    “Even in the deepest dark, life's seed sprouts anew”- love this line to close J! Feels like defiance but also a quiet determination to persevere. Love the Gandalf quote in the bio by the way😄

    I love how you blended imagery and emotion to create themes of isolation, renewal, and the contrast between light and darkness. With your words you have expressed both vulnerability and strength. It’s beautifully reflective and carries a sense of quiet resilience. Truly inspiring!"
