she'll carry morning’s fading enemies:
a spiritual ruin and swallowed despair

blinding violent piercing stolen sea fires
one's vain movements—sacred, soothing

tortured poets watch cancer drifting past
gently stalking the pink dog-kiss of roses

radio band remorse is hiding stale lessons
gathering inside softly-colored Jesus static

I can’t promise you anything better
No, my concern toward old roles,
negative behaviors, is now leaving
My positive emotions are merging,
striving, changing—an act of will
I've withdrawn at last
                                                        Trul­y complete
               Deserving, needing, just one unbroken
            person—one realizing hostile situations,
            writing journals with different messages
          How sorry to know that everything I had
     relied on all of my acutely unhappy changes
         Now: Engage anything, but need nothing!

i'm done listening.
you are but a distant voice
drowned out by new hope

Name the feeling
but first you must recognize it
for what it is, and
realize what it is

Do it fairly specifically

Even when you use
a concrete term to describe
your feeling (ex. anger)
there is a gamut, or range:
annoyed
or raging mad?

This should be identified
clearly
