People Like Me

written by: Henry Bladon

Everywhere there are people like me.
Gentle but fragile.
Worrying

about everything and nothing.

One day I will be whole and enjoy
the lightness I used
to know.

Before I was like this.

I have dreams
to drink again from
a pure stream.

When things will be okay.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

This is a poem inspired by 'My Little Underground', a piece by Dutch artist Marcel Herms.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
