Old Hurts and Secrets one hour after arriving in town everyone knows we are here they watch us in uncertainty wondering what I am going to take from them they whisper and stare as we eat like we are sitting at someone else’s seat at the dinner table old hurts and secrets never die sadly the legacy my family left me with is fear, not respect they feared them, now they fear me it hurts me long ago I walked away from any power I might have had a young girl finally approaches us ask me if I am here to help the town I tell her no for when I walked away years ago I walked away from any power to help or hurt "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare |

I walked away from any power to help or hurt Yet they are able to hurt you...how sad, though you've written it so well! |

Our power to help or hurt...is one we may chose not to use..but it exists and we never walk away from it, only from the choice of whether to use it or not.. |
