My journey to recovery
Is heavy for me to carry.
But tomorrow’s an open door,
Gives me time to love myself more.
I got ditched on a lonely road,
My prince turned out to be a toad.
Walking with tears in heavy pour,
Gives me time to love myself more.
Now my heart can sing happy songs
Of fighting back from all the wrongs.
In life I finally can score,
Gives me time to love myself more.
My journey to recovery
Gives me time to love myself more.
Author notes
I recovered by loving myself more...
Kyrielle Sonnet
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
