Introvert

Who are you at 72
Still a kid at heart,
Always hopeful, glass half full
Family falling apart.

Politics, wrecked relationships
Breaking ties that bind.
How can we mend our souls
When others are unkind. 

Now I need to hide myself
from all the hurt outside,
Find my way, from this day
and heal the wounds inside.
