Coping couplets

Mattie Grace Levy Uncategorized

 

I will write a poem without pain

Despite crying disdain for inflicting it’s stain

 

Or feeling its sting while afflicted by shame

Day by day seeping into a daze

 

My suffering is minimal in many ways

If one is worse I should be able 

 

To lift myself from this haze

I will write a poem without pain

 

Dancing lazily in the game

For I am not living this life in vain

Mattie Grace Levy

I'm a black woman, a classically trained oboist, a self-taught composer, and an introspective poet trying to comprehend my thoughts.
