Symbolism is the act of taking a simple object or idea and placing weight and emotion upon it. Fire becomes the image of anger and hatred. Dusk is now slowly dying hope. Battered shoes turn into the representation of adventure.
This collection contains poetry that utilizes strong emotional symbols, exploring the idea that not everything is as simple as it appears. Please comment your thoughts and don't forget to vote if you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Poems of Pain and Solitude
For every person out there that was quiet, not because they chose to be so, but because they were choking in the smoke. Because their opinions were apparently not worth anything. Because they didn't know just how to say what they felt. For every person that is consumed by their own thoughts, the derision from the outside world only making it worse. For every soul that was drowning in remorse and anguish on restless nights. For every soul that says I love you in the dark and in the mirror because no one else does. For the floors we would pace while anxiety sunk its teeth into us. For the mirrors that we would break while shame echoed its laugh in our caged walls. For the hearts that would ache while loneliness was the only company. For every moment of pain and solitude in this world that feels too cruel for such young and frail minds.Complete
