The Absence of Her~#poetry #SeptemberWriting #themagicshop

When you are low

A gentle critique hits like a punch

You question your price tag

No reason to deny your pointless trip

Hundreds of people shuffle by your prison

The lives of strangers glow in your perception

You stay distant from nearby comforts

This absence of her started your slide

An invisible family ignores your words

When did your GPS get you this lost?

But, your walk must continue

It is only in your distance that you can survive

A walk forward out of your low
