For a long time I could not think My thoughts were dry Not my ink The hurt that aches Inside my bones Will not surface For me to disown So much I don't understand Uncertainty has grabbed My hand Kind words appease From those outside They see the pain I cannot hide The cuts I bear Please don't stare You have them too Want to share? I grieve the loss Of many things But embrace the promise That tomorrow brings A writer writes Young kids fly kytes A dream can soar When the heart ignites
