It ruptured
The wound inside
I dared not tell
Of the pain within
I looked fine
But I was not whole
As a little one
I was told nothing
I was not held
My cries were not attended to
My belly was not full
I hurt inside
Never told a soul
Until now
It ruptured
A sigh of relief
Now I can breathe
I can soar
I'm free
All because I released what was inside of me
