Neglectful Disempowerment

Michelle Smith
No courage inside,

The weakness will consume her

Melt her into earth.

Dig trenches too deep,

Overflow with too much talk,

Separate the weeds.

Power of each word

Not spoken but kept inside

Rob strength from her soul.

    Incredible, disturbing write - drawing the compassion from the reader, wanting to reach out, to stoke, to calm, to say 'it's going to be o.k."... But where, how? I trust you are well, Rebecca. It's been many months since your further writings last graced AC with your presence. Only the Best, Michael
