To Write What Is Asked
Irritable and out of sorts,
Jumbled emotions fill me up.
I want to write, but it hurts.
The topic, with sadness, erupts.
"A sad memory", the challenge was
But mine is sad beyond compare.
Not something I am prepared to write,
Feelings brought forth, too much to bare.
I shall attempt to put on paper
The saddest day in memory
But these are ghosts best left alone
And memories that need not be free.
