letting go

peace comes…

Sorrow…

I have carried

the weight

of my sorrow

through decades

through seasons

through storms

Sorrow weighed

me down

a heavy

load to carry

It closed me

off

It closed me

in

It closed me.

Sorrow

drowning in sorrow

I could barely swim

could never

catch my breath

Heartbroken

battle scarred

I swallow

my tears

embrace my fears

carry on

carrying sorrow…

Truth~

The truth came

for me today

it was not gentle

it was not fair

the message was

loud and clear

I ranted

I raved

I explained

I cursed

I cried

Truth~

it just is…

take it

leave it

believe it

deny it

once it is known

it can not be

forgotten

it is what it is.

What is your truth?
