I'm Just Fine

by Maple Tree   Mar 31, 2012


I made a silent confession
when dawn kissed droopy
eyes of a late night silence.

Another moment when I
chose to allow my sorrow
to rise again, unspoken.

Why is it that I feel the need
to live alone, when surrounded
by love and pure sweet joy?

My sadness is minuscule
to the pain that shadows
these drafty walls of home.

His thoughts and trials
are far more important
than my dizzy, chaotic tears.

I'll compress my somberness
within a flashing neon sign
that reads "I'm just fine",

when I'm truly not....

    Deeply sad. You had me hooked on this poem from the first stanza. I could feel the pain in the piece and I loved how you kept the poem raw throughout.

    I love the simple words in this poem, we as women will stay in unhealthy relationship so that the ones who need us, can somehow feel complete...but question many of us dare to ask is "What about me?"

    You did a great job of expressing what some of us feel.
