You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
Saw Me Standing On The Edge Of Darkness
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
π΄βπ€π΄β
Always Pushed Away, The Dark Despair Grew
The Edge's Crumbling, I'm Frightened I Confess
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
π΄βπ€π΄β
Like A Pile Of Smashed Porcelain, I'm Through
All Alone I Have To Face My Distress
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
π΄βπ€π΄β
I'll Always Be Good, I'll Always Get Through
That's What You Say As I Fall To Pieces
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
π΄βπ€π΄β
This Is Something I Can't Fix, I Can't Do
For Me There Is No Hope, I'm Just A Mess
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
π΄βπ€π΄β
I Want To Make Things Right But Have No Clue
Broken, Blistered, Shattered, Hurt And Distressed
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True

Foxes Run Free
Introduction This may read a bit disjointed but it is meant to give a sense of freedom for foxes and others. I believe that animals should be free to roam. Humans steal their habitat then complain when animals try to live by taking what food they can. Foxes would forage and eat other animals, but when their normal prey is removed then they have to target domesticated areas.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Wow, this is a powerful Villanelle, great job!
Thus is quite emotional. I hope you're doing okay. Sending hugs across the Atlantic. π€
Oh Mike, I'm so sorry. Hope you feel better soon. Sending you lots of love and hugs β€οΈ
Hope you feel better soon. This piece was well crafted.
I agree with Mark Graham. There is a song in here!
This could be a song. Good work.
An introspective villanelle, and hugs to you if this is how you're feeling.
Oh this one hurts, all those jagged pieces :( You are king of Villanelle!! Also, sending hugs if you're feeing this way.
Most people feel like that some days, depending on how heavy the weight of the world is. "That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger," is good to live by too.
I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in your writing, as it opens up a space for others who may be feeling similarly to find some solace in knowing they're not alone. The imagery of shattered fragments evokes a powerful sense of loss, but also suggests the potential for transformationβhow broken pieces can eventually come together to form something new, albeit different.
