I am strong I say. 
I am good I say. 
But the weight bears witness to
the truth and all is not right with this world I inhabit.  
There are screams hidden inside my
bones.  
They are seeping out of the
growing fissures. 
It will not be contained. 
Ah love and the tricks it plays on a willful
heart.  
Lessons not easily learned will
never be forgotten.  
This I must believe.
