Poem Commentary

We often overlook the strength within us and look for it elsewhere. We even give credit elsewhere when actually belongs within us.

A Corner in My Soul

There's a corner in my soul that I call my own,

That I turn to when I'm faced with hamlet's dilemma,

That signals when I'm at the crossroads,

That leads me by hand when I'm lost.

 

There's a corner in my soul that's my very own,

That lifts me up when I'm down,

That rushes in solace when sorrow strikes,

That soaks up my tears when I need to cry.

 

There's this hidden corner in my soul,

That gives me breathing space when life sucks,

That gives me company when lonely,

That's always by my side rain or shine.

 

There's a corner in my soul that I call my own,

That introverts and lets me bask in glory,

That never robs me of those rare moments of joy.

That let me be me.

You're writing is straightforward and to the heart of the matter. This was a gentle breeze of a poem that is easy to enjoy and appreciate the depth of emotion that you have shared, and I'm thankful you did!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
