The Three Words

After all the tears
The struggles and scars
To myself I promise:
I will remember
Before each sundown
To not fall too far
But grab the ledge
And live the words gifted to me
By a friend passed long ago
Just Another Day!

Author's Note

This is part of a design that I have created to be tattooed over the scars on my right thigh to remind myself to keep living and never give up until I can find two people to take my place and so they can find two more people each to take their place.

Just another day...yes. Grab the ledge and hang on. Well penned

Just another day, just another poem of emotion and power and that's a good thing. A day a poem is written, it has been a good day.

I enjoyed this. The short and to the point verses were jam packed and full of expression

Thank you. Do you have some or any constructive criticism that you can put forward

well I think there's a really good flow between the lines, a kind of rythm, which makes the whole poem quite attractive. It sorts of pulls you in, in a way. It's really great the way it is, it might have been better if there was the same amount of syllables for each line, because it really because you essentially did lines by 5 syllables, but it really doesn't take away the flow to the words. The image given, especially in the first lines, is very powerful. hope that's constructive enough :)

Thank you. I shall take that information on board
