Riyah
September 22, 2009
Nobody has hurt me
Yet I am devastated
No sign of the inner brokenness
No wound indicating an attack
Tears of pain and remorse
No personal tragedy
Anger and grief intermingling
I want to break down or lash out
Composure
The inner storm breaking on the outer breakwater
A placid pool with raging undercurrent
I’ve tried to break free
The riptide drags me back into your pain
In other words
I don’t like seeing you upset.
