I knew pain, I’d lost, I’d wept
I knew helplessness and hopes abandon;
but today…
I knew wringing my hands, my heart of
tears
Tearing down my life, clouding every
breath
Each long inhale taking the misery
deeper in my being
A figure stood alone; but today… I
cannot breathe.
I’d picked myself up, worked hard for
every smile
Kept warm on only memory, the remembrance
of joy
I carried on, pushed forward against
the world
With all my self, my will; but today…
I’m strong no more.
I knew of unfair hands, pure hearts
unravelling without cause
Too soon: taken too far, too cruelly from
them they love
I thought I was safe, my scars, they
were healing…
And then today…Today, again…
