My Mariana Trench depression

And your shallow, petty delight

Slowly transformed into my

Cold set of armour and

The softened heart found

Hidden beneath

But still with

A slow

Beat

    Your cover images are amazing! Almost as amazing as your poetry "My Mariana Trench depression And your shallow, petty delight" these lines were so unbelievably profound! There's no light in the trench, and no depth in the shallows

    Such dynamic lines! This had outstanding progression which is hard to do with diminishing syllables per line

    You have no right being this amazing. "My Mariana Trench depression", took my breath away and if I kept pulling out quotes, I'd just type out your whole poem. Absolutely breathtaking and splendid to read as always!

    This is beautiful - caught my eye with the first line, Vocal was doing something calling this story to me early AM while sunbathing - thanks for sharing Poppy and hope all is well with you ❤️

    I like the contrast in the first few lines and the resilience at the end. Slow and steady wins the race.

  • This had so much of resilience to it. I loved it!
