I Am Not Alright Jack

Jack, why do you hurt me so? Untie the reins and let me go Unlock the shackles that bind And set me free to find Myself. Me, Who is she? I no longer know Where did I go?

I'm alright, Jack, is an expression from the navy; it means everything is fine with me (Jack). I do not care a darn about you.

She hides in the cave of her heart. Very delicately penned poem, Shirley
