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…
