Don't dwell on the shores of your troubles, else the tide might come in and you'll start drowning.


This is not a poem,

it is my heart,

taken apart for all to see.

Word by word,

line by line.

 

Analyze it,

critique it-- but gently!

As not to break my form,

my structure.

For my bones are the only things holding me together

     now.
