Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Deep Down

we’re all damaged goods
to some extent
our stories are unique
yet share so much in common

there’s a hurt little child
somewhere deep down
forever craving to be consoled
forever longing for love

Fine expression of the truth, Line. We all need more love to console that inner "little child."
