FALLING TOGETHER
a poem...
We fall together, like snowflakes from a broken sky.
The branches reach out to grab us, but the wind tears us apart
Why are we doing this? No snowflake is alike, why are we trying to stick?
The sun will always set, melting us into a history no one would ever learn.
Why give this black world another white sheet to scribble up?
Why clothe the world with beauty, when every part of me is falling apart?
When every crushing footstep, and snow angel chokes me to death?
Why fall together like snowflakes from a broken sky?
When I don't mind being rain and you snow...

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Beautiful work!
Wow such a deep emotional poem. Lovely poetry.
This is awesome, and very well wrought. The story of the snowflake is one of a unique, beautiful, and fragile thing, that both weathers the storm and is the storm... an apt analogy for the human personality! Third line from the bottom, I think you wanted "to death". An easy fix in quick edit!
So amazingly written!!
That last line…. 💕💕
This was deep and beautiful. I swear I felt this one in my soul! I'm bookmarking it which I rarely do! Great job!!! 💕💕
This was so deep and raw with so few words. I loved it 😍
