Funeral Flowers : An emblem of remembrance

Hashtags tell strangers how you feel

Without the solidity of all that's real.

It's writing emotions on a sea of sand

Hoping it's noticed before the next wind blows.

What is the answer? No one knows

But the first step might be to step inside.

Lonely, not Alone

tired

used to love being wired

quickly squirm away

beware promise you’ll pay

used to care used to share

isolation was rare now it‘s everywhere

what’s my problem

thought you made a list

painful now painless tomorrow

another twenty four riddled with sorrow

feeling sorry for myself, perhaps

once my head lifts show me the maps

life before finding a better way

Hope fills the spaces between each lobe

how did it happen, this fresh perspective

stopped the take and learned to give

that wasn’t all

on the ledge awaiting a breeze embracing the fall

physicians view enlightened by few

years of schooling lack of insight

psycho electro group circle square

holding hands spitting nickels

bootstraps but you already know

vodka beer gin whiskey or wine

nothing helped this fortress of ice

solitude was feeling pretty nice

once down crawling with mice

not until this after all lost

by choice at all cost

not with medicine, shock even below zero frost

realization occurred

someone saw me

even reached down

past my shirt through the air

locked onto my hair

never let go

not alone

lonely no more

isolation free no longer a mess

there it was, the answer appeared

telling me all, everything i feared

but i wasn’t speaking the voice wasn’t mine

it was...

them, they, million a billion no fee no fine

I‘m Not Alone, Neither Are You

We Fight Together

@czlunapoetry

a smiling face hides so much

a pixelated circle cropped from a square

but once the sadness starts trending

that’s when people start to care

“for you” “trending” “news”

don’t forget the hashtags tacked on there

because that’s only when they’ll speak up

otherwise, they wouldn’t dare

hotlines and websites fill the timeline

promises of hope and prayer

but in their real life they’re none the wiser

to their loved one filled with despair
