Poem Update: "_____ Down, ______ To Go"

It's true what they say - heartbreak is like fuel for creativity. Singer-songwriters Adele, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have all said that heartbreak drove them to write some of their biggest hits to date. So how does Joy fall into all this?

Well she's been sharing insanely good poems that travel to a darker side of her emotions. There's an unmissable sense of urgency and distress that make her words ever so poignant and raw. Yet no matter how dark the feel of her poetry may be, what I love most is that her strength, good faith and her willingness to go on seem to be the overarching message.

I really hope she continues her creative flow - it seems to be a catharsis for her and more selfishly, entertainment for us.

"_____ Down, ______ To Go"

Very raw emotions
Everything I feel consumes
It’s true the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.

I am fully open,
Yet thoroughly suspicious
I’m so grateful and so very devastated.

The sun rises and sets
Everyone in their own hell
It’s amazing our capacity to survive.
