Untitled poem ~ by Bonnie Jacobs


What’s hiding in the back of my mind?
One sneaky fear of what happened
A couple of unshed tears
A cry that never cleared my throat
Persistence in loving life
Unanticipated determination
And the courage to keep hanging on
Extra pounds, unacknowledged
A story that's not yet told

Oh yes, Bonnie, that's a feeling I understand only too well. And I know it's not easy to give those dark things voice. Thank you for sharing. Big hug.
