Tears streaming down my face
out of place
toxic space
under appreciated grace
not a trace
run away from the rat race
tripping on my shoelace
gotta grab my mace
if I wanna get some...
peace

Silken Chains
Silhouettes of the female form were given flesh and bone. Silken skin glistened under the spotlight. Dry ice rose around our Icons as they danced atop their podiums in the Square. Heralded for their beauty, their movements were slight, powerful, and sensual.

Wow, you blew my mind, yet again!!!
I'm, new and this poem just has that umph! ya know.
Oh, I loved this! I don't know how I missed it but just caught it on the Raise your voice thread! Glad I did!
Love this!❤️🙏🌻
This is awesome Tanya. I truly love a good rhyming flow xx
Okay but this is low-key fun! I kinda love that it starts dramatic and ends like, “actually… I just want peace.” Relatable arc in 10 lines! 💖
Sometimes when I have a lot of big feelings I also need to rhyme 🫶🏼 😅
You ok, giantess harpist? Nice lil poem!
I love the flow and rhyming of this! Great work :-)
I especially loved the way you made this rhyme. So cool!
