don't ask me to be strong today...
I wish to wish the world away.
I'm weary of the wind and rain--
all this hurricane of pain.
I do not want to be the one
left standing just to greet the sun
unmerciful, after the rains
in drought of loneliness remains.
I cannot wipe another tear
let them roll, fall where they may...
all my love has turned to fear.
Don't ask me to be strong today.

Ok, I know how this feels. I have a good friend who is scared too. Heck, we're all scared that's why we write and cry. Karen, you are a glorious person full of spirit and fire. I won't tell you to be strong but I will tell you to be gentle with yourself!

Sometimes we just can't be strong....I think all of us understand that.  Painful and poignant write, I enjoyed it greatly.

Well? I slept for sixteen hours, and ate something too. I feel better (sometimes I forget that the body is a delicate machine in need of TLC)

I thank you all, for letting me get your shoulders soggy once again. I'd hug you again..but damn...yer all wet from my tears!
and a   too!!!
