Speak the words
You say
Break your silence
Still the anger
Dare to voice
Those hidden thoughts
But have you stopped to wonder
The harm those words might do
To me to you
The shame the blame
Cursing our future
Our evermore
For one brief moment's
Relief
Release from the pain
Of silence

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Ah, the age old question, when is it best to speak the truth and when is it best to stay silent? But you said it so much prettier than I did. Nicely written.
Nice entry! Good luck.
Yes, it might feel so good at the time, but at what cost? Would the consequences be worth it? Hmmm. Loved your poem!
A short poem that speaks volumes. Good job.
