Knock Off The Dust, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
The confidence
After ruins
The rise after
The avalanche
The fractured bones
The shattered jaw
The pain of rejection
Impending fall
Out of the crater
You slowly crawl
To once again
Tower tall.
(end)
This isn’t about domestic abuse, but it could apply. It is basically and overall theme of overcoming any harsh adversity in life.

I can really identify with this thoughtful poem, Brian. Currently, with what’s going on for me in my life, I feel the part that reads,
‘The fractured bones
The shattered jaw
The pain of rejection
Impending fall.’
Hopefully, in time, I will feel more like the last couple of lines in your poem. Thanks for sharing.
You definitely haven’t lost your touch as a poet. Sometimes, we feel like that, but then, something comes along in our mind and we manage to produce something despite all the worry about stagnating as one of your recent poems was entitled. I’ve got a bit stuck with my poetry at the moment. I’m hoping something will filter through from my mind to the tips of my fingers soon. Take care of yourself, Brian. Ellie

This is for anyone who feels down. It is a hard hole to be in for sure. But there can be a tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your poems. I cannot stress this enough, they are also my therapy.
