Does DOA mean dead on arrival? I haven't seen/heard it used before but I just looked it up...Jenni, this was such an emotional piece, I can't possibly say everything that made me saddened, I do want to write some of my thoughts though. The opening question grabbed me right away and kind of choked me up- because I believe it to be true. I think, even though when we cry we obviously don't cry with blood streaming down, somehow we bleed....whether it be an emotion, a suffering, a pain, a trouble, we release something. And often it's unseen, that's the most heartbreaking part. It can easily be hidden, swiped away or just overlooked. I really can relate to the "I'm fine", and I think you penned that stanza perfectly talking about how often those two words are head and then accepted. It's truly amazing when someone is able to tell something's wrong even if you don't admit it yourself, sometimes you want someone to say it for you, that's you're not okay. |
