POETRY SKILL CONTEST

TO LOVE LIFE❣️

IMG_20211105_113327_503.jpg

To love life, to love it even
When you have no stomach for it
and everything you have held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands

Your throat filled with slit of it
when grief sits with you, it's tropical heat

Thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs,
when grief weighs you down like your own flesh

Only more of it, an obesity of grief
you think how can a body withstand this?

Then you hold life like a face between your palms. a plain face with no charming smile
no gorgeous eyes and you say yes
I will take you and I will love you once again.

I invite my friends @namwoli @quanbriel @kyara2 to take part in this beautiful contest

This post qualifies for #club5050



Hey, thank you very much for posting in Steem Skillshare. I truly enjoyed reading your publication :)

Please, notice that according to the new rules, we are allowed to reward posts with booming support only if users participate in the #club5050 program :)

Have a great day!

Thank you @papi.mati..i hope I join the club5050 soon...it's just that I joined this wonderful steemit family a week ago...how I wish I could be given a chance that way I would join the club sooner.

as you didn't withdraw anything yet you just need to power up anything and you will qualify for the program. Power-up at least 1 STEEM and use #club5050 tag under each of your posts to get a chance for booming :) good luck!

@papi.mati thanks for your advice ..I have used my only 1 steem to power up I hope I now stand a chance to qualify

Thank you so much @papi.mati...let me do that

Awwww! x2. The end got me teary. Wonderful piece!

Yes @mbabazize many people face difficulties, they hate life but still love it so much....there are those days when they feel they can't take it anymore, however they finally convince themselves into trying again.
