You pretend there isn’t a storm
Nothing to protect you from the rain and hail
You walk barefoot in the alley
Glass hidden in the cracks of the pavement
Penetrating the soles of your feet
You never complained
You took on the ocean
You never swam in anything deeper than 5ft
Yet you rode waves
shaping your own reality
Living freely
You never feared a thing
You said it never existed
It was all an illusion
I found your diary
Your fears were hidden in thin pages
Wrinkles on each
Written in cursive
Numbered
I was number one

How's it going? Welcome to my first ever blog. My name is Angelique, no I do not speak French fluently, but I wish I could. I am from Chicago, Illinois and I love to write about pretty much everything. I created this blog because I am extremely bad at writing in my journals, so I thought it’d be a great idea to create a blog and give myself the opportunity to challenge myself by exposing who I am to complete strangers. I also created this blog to connect with other writers and introverts like myself. I love the idea of creating a space for people who struggle with expressing themselves, but find themselves in other peoples writing. With that being said, thanks for vising my blog and don't hesitate to reach out.

Lovely poem, Introverse 🙂
Wondering though, was that meant to be ‘soles’ or ‘souls’ as you wrote there.
I should read a bit more of your blog now, shouldn’t I?
Okay, I have to think of sleep ! 🙂
