aftermath

going home isn’t always
returning to a place.
sometimes
it is returning to yourself.

And with a sincere smile,
she looked to the stars
knowing the future was worthwhile,
even, with a thousand scars.

When you like someone for what they represent perhaps they’re better left as an idea.

This is the complete poem in response to my question: Do hardships make you stronger or weaker?
But as I said, they simply "𝓉𝑒𝒶𝒸𝒽 𝓂𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒹𝑒𝒸𝑒𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓁𝒹."

The Spring Sun

The Spring Sun

The brilliant spring sun,
Lends a sunshine to shadows,
And sweeps away dusk.

My first haiku. I tried to write a haiku before only to give up, thinking it's too hard. But here it is, although it's not so great.
I'd be grateful to get some feedback cz I'm not sure bout the 2nd line - "lends a sunshine"

pathetic hands try to stop,

"but there is more to your loss"

there is more to be lost,

in these shackles i bought.

but this dream feels much better,

than any thing i ever have thought.

my favorite dream

where hate ain't between us,

and my soul stands still,

from a sad seat of rust.

where seas of time stand rough,

when skins aren't just weapons,

just to justify us.

i can't see you in moonlight,

but i'll catch you in the rain.

only spoken words can keep me sane.
