I have known no greater joyAfter so long,
it feels nearly impossible
to find music
beyond the monotonous drone of
ever ringing telephones;
to find peace
beyond the unrelenting discomfort
of business casual shoes;

And yet, somewhere amidst
tense muscles and troubled thoughts,

I find a smile.

In deep, sun-starved corners that are
hidden even from myself, I feel
dust stir;

I have known no greater joy
than laughter.

The inevitable truthThe hardest part of being a writer
   is accepting that some things
         cannot be expressed
                   in words.

Blind EyesAnother morning soon shall come
Blind eyes see beauty pure
cracks shall fill with seamless sun
Desultory words creep under door
To golden shores, lost feet shall run.

There's ArtThere's art within the sullen streets
in folds of tattered shirts,
there's color in the cobwebbed corners
hidden from the earth.

There's music wand'ring empty streets,
an echo lost in stone,
their symphonies left incomplete
in eyes of the unknown.

There's poetry that shan't be wrote
but trapped in hopeless hands;

There's art in every living soul
who never got their chance.

I'm not good with titlesA few years ago, I thought
    I could do anything.

A few years ago, I thought
    I could achieve whatever I desired.

In breath-fogged mirrors, my irises
    have lost their light.

I don't know what happened.

Countless wasted nights leave me
    in defeat;

A girl with dreams of a future
    I ache for every day..

    but I'm no longer
   strong enough.

The passion that burned between all seven layers
   of my skin has turned to ash,

   a

noneMy pen runs empty;
marrow sucked dry
from my bones.

I've
no words
left.

I have absolutely no idea how I feel about this. I wanted to keep it simple, but now I'm not sure if it's too bland and could use some secondary focal points... I also wanted it to have a dark lighting kind of feel, but I'm not sure if I'm happy with how that turned out either.

Anywho, all constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

Really brilliant and quite beautiful, however I do keep seeing a face in the contours of the background and it rather distracting.
Over all, a I give it four

s out of five.
Good day!

Really?

Where do you see it? I am looking for one and can't find it...
Anywho, thank you so much for the kind words!

I like it, I love the colour in it! Maybe the only thing was the background to the left of the glass I found kind of distracting, as if the blur was a bit too prominent/ not soft enough? But don't listen to me haha, its probably only my eyes.

Why thankya! I think i see what you mean about the background... it also looks a bit brighter than the rest of it which could be causing a distraction... but anywho, thanks again!
