Exceptional free verse Like I Used To by Debra White

A poem lurks nearby   I feel it vibrating      see it glowing           hear it murmuring   I yearn to capture it       make it speak             or sing                 or something   but how   my brain brims over fuller than full   with doubt with fear with sorrow   just like my heart so heavy beneath my breast   The poem mutters under its breath taunting me        get a bloody grip      grab on tight      like I used to   I will         soon                 I will     Author Notes Image courtesy of google
