Poem: {It's alright}
May 11, 2023
I'm holding onto your scrawny wrists,
As I look into your tired eyes,
not a single thought behind them
Your porcelain skin
a mere canvas for you to draw,
You're painting each of your worries away
Oh dear,
I know

Simply eloquent, @YourLocalArea51Alien ! Your poeticism shines very truly here, and I admire how the fractures and metaphors of description put together this feeling of empathy. The flow in which you write, wherein a person of fatigue and another of empathy connect, feels very true to an ethereal, literary style. I also love the part about "porcelain skin." I'm imagining a somewhat darker meaning in that stanza, and if so, well done, because it is so pertinent and so delicately displayed.
