I Kept my Wisdom to Myself

she lives in a house of cards
some say, a precarious life
she listened to no one

her own fault some say
I keep my wisdom to myself
not having her life, so not really knowing

Hello Caren, that is wise to keep your wisdom to yourself. Question: When a person grieves and has tears uncontrolled the body shakes with tears streaming down, it feels like the body will break. When crying like --- Can a body break in half? because it does feel that way to me. So can the body break in half when the body shakes? thank you. Hugs.
