Carolyn Brunner Poem
People say hate is a strong word
Well so is ( fill in blank)
( fill in blank), a word I don't understand
It feels so heavy on my tongue
When I look at my parents, the word won't budge from my
mouth
Maybe we weren't built on ( fill in blank )
It's not like we tell each other..
I ( fill in blank) you
However yesterday, I overheard my teammate on the phone
She spoke those three words so eloquently
I felt joyful and sad
Knowing that I heard it
It almost sounded like the message was for me

Carolyn Brunner Poem
Hesitating to explain is what I do best
Sometimes I'd rather not even explain
Because my truths
Will be misunderstood by many ears and eyes
My truths ache when you spread rumors
They seethe as you fabricate a me that never existed
You gather your believers as I gather myself
Standing alone among the crowd -
I said "I needed a friend, not a fair-weathered one."

Carolyn Brunner Poem
I never thought I would miss you this much
Walking beside you
I felt protected
And in the gloomiest mornings
You spoke such reassuring words to me
Even if you stuttered or missed a step
It all was glorious
Can I walk another infinity with you?
