Inner Woman

Chapter Burden



Why me?

Inspiration he said

Why does it always happen to me?

Courage personified I was told

From childhood

Through puberty

into the flush of womanhood

each year brought a new

package

memory

battle

I cannot take on another

burden

You can he said

Strength is yours

Resilience

Another chest

locked in my head

Survival is my middle name

Each task

Each trauma

Each loss

As I look back

A base to bear

More than I can carry
