wet blanket

Posted in poetry at 3:51 am by Jenny Caffrey

heavy.  tight.  binding.  suffocating.  pain.  panic.  fear.  overwhelming.  grief.  These years of unadmitted pain.  The loss.  The devasting loss of innocence.  Of safety.  Of comfort.  Of compassion. 

As I learn to breathe again.  I learn to release.  The weight of the uncried tears has made my soul weary.  With every new breathe.  I learn to cry.  To accept.  To forgive.  To release.  To look for joy.  To accept kindness.  Even from myself.
