Shawn Munoz Poet Free verse

Gather Thyself

Sometimes I feel as if I'm going to crack yet somehow I find the strength within myself to bounce back.

I look at her stressed with tears in her eyes my soul wants to jump out of my chest and hug her from inside stitch up her spirits destressing her mind.

I see what she sees it definitely rips me apart inside but I need to remain strong to be her strength be at her side and hold on to her tight.

Mentally drained, Physically exhausted, Muscles are tense, My fist are pounding. Crimson tears are flowing but I gather my thoughts, my strengths and my emotions to keep myself grounded. ™©

Eve Roper September 30, 2016 at 9:50 PM Another good verse,Shawn, it is very difficult to watch someone suffer and not try to help. I go through this watching my children with their families :-) Shawn Munoz October 3, 2016 at 1:51 AM My future Mother Inlaw is fighting Live, lung and Brain cancer. My Fiance is in shambles but trying to be strong. I'm trying to gather myself for this will be a first for me.
