Why Me?
Why me? Why now? Why so long? Do I lack power? Do I lack resilience? Do I need to be tougher? Why is it me That always has to suffer? Why these dark feelings Around every corner? Why has life conspired To make each day harder? Why these dark days? Why does the sun hide? Continue reading

Relief
Do you know what it’s like To have a knife stuck in the chest? A lump caught in the throat? Passionate words still unsaid? Do you know what it is like To live in a box? To be kept in a cage? And to be starved of love? Can you imagine the relief Of a Continue reading
