I COULDN’T TALK ABOUT IT SO I WROTE A POEM
I COULDN’T TALK ABOUT IT SO I WROTE A POEM
I couldn't talk about it, so I wrote a poem
Struggling to let my emotions finally flow
Out into the world where others may read
My words that being so bright may even blind
Not only others but also my natural reserve
The feelings and thoughts that explode in me
Cascading down onto the ever busier page
Will in some way take root and maybe grow
Yet somewhere quiet, at the back of my brain
Despite my heart trying to shout out loudly
That one miniscule seed of lingering doubt
Whispers caution to the free spirit of verse
Such that, as always, I review and even edit
To ensure what may survive outside of me
Deserves even a modest place in the world
