A branch
They will see me, wings clipped
Tears, filling my eyes.
A branch that couldn’t bare it’s fruit.
And they will criticize.
They will say
Pull yourself together
As they pull me further apart.
Unable to understand that strength
Hides in weakness of the heart.
And I will go home and write to myself.
Words that I can’t speak.
And the solitude that I find in that
Is a comfort that I’ll keep.
