Broken resolve

broken lies my resolve to walk straight dressed in burden of expectations they still sit heavy on my being threatening to smother last-ditch efforts to retain individuality https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2020/03/03/photo-challenge-305/

Path to success

I came this far and then no more handcuffed gestures mourn shackled feet parched lips, thirsty near the shore I came this far and then no more It took years to get past the lure struggling mind and heart to meet I came this far and then no more handcuffed gestures mourn shackled feet https://dversepoets.com/2020/02/27/almost-a-triolet/
