Unbowed

I ease here in the light of dark,
my worth been told, not much at all.
Today, I hid in disarray
beneath the covers, tears forestall.

A fever felt in sweated craze,
such words be heard to no ones ears.
Conditioned now, to ward off pain,
serving notice to render fears.

Disquieting, anxiety
so apprehensive, shrinking from
the meanings of such strong debate
leaving me so burdened, numb.

Words combine to represent
bits of feelings spoken loud.
Laconic, I become a wall
conquered not, response unbowed.

I ease here in the light of dark
salvation bringing self to rise.
I have a worth, it's weight in gold.
Words will not bring to me demise.
