Sitting by the river
One week I screamed
The next I believe
Just a week…
One little week…
Sunday rain
To Sunday sun
Clandestine anxieties
Storing elastic energy
Released like a bullet from a gun
Let it out
Let it show
Let it go
Shared pride
Shared my vulnerable side
Sit by the river and let the feelings float
If it matters
Say it
Do it
Share it
It WILL bring peace
It will settle the child beneath
So, be strong fragile one
What is there to lose?
