There she lies
On the bed
Under the covers
In the distance
In the dark
Cries ring out
Fear envelops
Like the grass on the earth
Closing around her
Silently she begs
Please no more
Please no more
No one to hear the cries
No one to feel the pain
Alone in the dark

I'm just your typical depressed donkey. I'm an abuse survivor. I deal with the pain and stiffness and other fun stuff that goes with fibromyalgia. I used to teach English for a living but because of my health, that isn't any option anymore. I love to cook and feel most in my element when I'm in the kitchen tinkering around.

we can hear her now, we can care now, she is truly cared for now, in the real sense of the word. tell her she is cared for, and gently hugged

I felt like this too as a child and I feel it now, as an adult, when the past floods my mind.
All I can do is shake my head in understanding. Your poetry speaks loud and clear. I’ve read them all now. I won’t inundate your blog with comments though. I just want to say I hope you keep writing because these are strong and very expressive.
until again,
Austin
