When I'M Still - Embed Free Verse

when 
 I still myself
   and just be...
    an overwhelming
        sadness swells
         seemingly from
           an endless cistern of grief
             It wells and billows
               I accept it
                  not fully understanding 
                    but knowing this sorrow
                         must have a voice
                             be heard
                                embraced
                                  I am "barefaced"
