Fury
Fury
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson
I wrote songs
I read books
I educated
I ran
I offered kindness in support groups
I listened to lectures
I signed petitions
I buried my feet in the cool sand
I breathed through meditations
I ate chocolate
I renovated an old house
I studied
I listened to waves crash
I got on my yoga mat
I sang the Mad Woman playlist
At the top of my lungs
I went to therapy
I wore tourmaline crystals on my wrist
I painted
I hiked through the forest
I saved someone else
From all of the things
I can never go back and save myself from
I did every single thing I could do
With my fury
Except what you did with yours.

Hello K. Ann
Welcome to Neopoet.
This is the first time to meet I believe,
I read it and I am never disappointed.
I very much like how you've listed the too many things you did with your furry until the last line where I thought I am not getting why you chose "except"
For many reasons I would change it,but I thought you know better what you wanted to say.
I've already enjoyed the read
Thank you for sharing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

FURY!
I RANTED, I RAVED AND WAS DAMN NEAR DEPRAVED. I CUT MYSELF OFF TO THE LAND OF THE LOST AND WAS WELL NIGH CONSUMED BY MY OWN FURY. IT BURNS AND IT TEAMS DEEP DOWN INSIDE OF ME AND ALL OF THIS
I HAVE DONE WITH MY OWN FURY! GOOD WRITING MRS.WILSON!!!
All of God's children singing, holding hands in the rain!

Hello Kelly...
At first I was a little put off by the long line of of: I's, but I read it through and felt that it was not so bad.
I felt the reaffirmation of one's self, and the feeling that you were right on track with showing how different you were
after making up your mind to be more and better than your partner. Nice stuff! ~ Geezer.
