I’m seething. My silence masks my feelings PLEASE leave me alone. I’m like a volcano waiting for the eruption - don’t push me, don’t force the issue, you can’t see into my heart or mind. Just give me space to come back down to earth ‘When I am silent I have thunder hidden inside’ Rumi Etheree form - 55 syllables 02~12~15

I can identify with this Jan. When I am very silent my kids and husband know I am really angry. Like you have said in your poem, some time and space help most to calm down. Congratulations on your wonderful win Jan!
