Time For Me
Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don't care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.

About Kerri L. Copeland
I’m in my 40s and I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love writing. I also love writing non-fiction op-ed pieces on important matters in the world. I am not looking for recognition as much as I am trying to inspire others. My son is almost an adult and is my most amazing achievement in life. I never knew being a mother could be as rewarding as it has been. Though most of my poetic writing is about emotional suffering, I can safely say I know now that I am one of the lucky ones.

What Now?
You'll always be too hard to handle.

I'll always be too cold to touch.
So, that does beg the question;
Why did I love you so much? -

You gave me light

On my darkest of days.
You showed me love
In so many ways.Featured Shared StoryI love how the author states her gratitude towards her man. It's true that men don't always share their emotions with us ladies. It's what they do that speaks volumes.

Dead Inside
She may seem alive

But she's dead inside.
How can one live
When the important things died?Featured Shared StoryThis hit me hard. This is exactly what I felt every day. Without my "friends" I had nothing to think about. I felt numb. With them I can't think about what's happening inside my head.

I can't quite find the words, tears streaming down my face like they NEVER do. That poem was truly amazing. It is honest, raw, and soft at the same time. I can't imagine how I'd even compose a piece if I lost my mother. You're a strong person, as well as a strong artist. Thank you for your poem.
That was an amazing piece of art. Only one that has been to the inferno and back could write such words with ease. You're very talented, and I wish you all the love and the wonderful things I'm certain that you deserve. Stay strong, and thank you for your poetry. Just maybe you have already saved a few...
You are a very talented writer. We can only imagine what amazing company you would be. So intelligent, interesting, and much deeper than most. Amazing work! Keep writing and never forget how perfectly amazing you are!
This is a great work of art. You're very talented and that was very brave. Clearly, you're a beautiful person!!
I can relate 100%. I hope you are finding some peace and that writing may be cathartic to you. It's a great short poem and I read it at a time I needed to. Some things are funny that way. Many days my depression makes me numb. Reading things like this and also writing seem to help the most. Keep it up. You're talented.
