My Wish For You
(a poem)
I wish it would stop
Whatever it is
That is hurting you
All the things
That hurt you
.
I wish you'd get
That feeling you're looking for
Have that final sigh of relief
Realizing that
That chapter of your life is over
.
I wish you
The awareness
To know,
That you're
Getting your power back
.
You've lived through hell and survived
You don't see it, but
You are so strong
Even though
You don't think you are
.
There is power
In awareness
.
And although you feel
Damaged and broken
You are still strong
.
Although you feel
Weak and powerless
You are still strong
.
Although you feel
Sadness and cry
You are still strong
.
After all
The most damaged muscles
Are the strongest

I saw your cleavage and your obvious need to brand your reproductive capacities and stopped. Poetry is not about breasts.... Wait. Poetry is about breasts. Sorry. Please continue. You have been writing for so many years and you put your tits over a poem? Maybe I should put my penis on the cover of my next book and call it "The Ravage Rome Hath Wrought"
This speaks to my spirit. So true!
