To strive, for recognition An assembly point for thought Triumphed within an open page Paper evidence of unspoken verse Retrieved from the place behind this heart Do you mind? Don’t look over my shoulder at my vulnerability Private stance is mine Do not mock as I turn the page A personal preview of this unlocked memory Back of my neck, prickling Anticipating on the spot reaction Young, ill at ease Crying from the yard Hiding the scars Don’t rush away the memories, a deluge When time was so limited Become brave Force open the private recess Cobwebbed and masked by dust Speak clearly, not from mumbling Mouth, I need to………….. know I am blemished So glad to be alongside you Reunited, forgotten, forgiven.....now ribbon tied Can we bury? It would seem not......but wait and remember Deceived by the dark Under dressed for the occasion Battered suitcase dragged and kicked open Essays of remembrance Headlines screaming for discussion Released for a while Obeyed and tidied Press down and close the rusty catches My new day transcribed here I don’t mind, lean on my shoulder See my vulnerability It makes me strong
