Into the breach, dear friends, <br />Here I go. <br />No, I think not, not this time. <br />I will use the pain to write, <br />To fight, to crawl my way to a higher plane. <br />A hard heart is what I have aquired, <br />There will be a no entry sign there for a while. <br /> <br />I cannot run from this; <br />I must turn and face myself and learn. <br />Know why this happened. <br />Delve into the ugly business behind this failure <br />As I feel it is. <br /> <br />Learn, emerge bigger in heart <br />And stronger in soul. <br />He said I thought I was better than him. <br />Mmmmm..Did I? <br /> <br />I fear, my dear, I simply knew <br />I deserved more than you could give <br />Another fault he mentioned.. <br />I expect too much. <br /> <br />I think not, I expected respect. <br />I was ill- and he did not understand. <br />I was well and he could not forget <br />The deeds of the unwell. <br /> <br />Depression surrounds me no longer, <br />I have seen its face and so am stronger. <br />Been where others cannot go, <br />And now, can spot those in the know. <br />To them I am drawn; <br />Tell them I see their fawn. <br />Explain that they can find the dawn.. <br />Alone, singular, within... <br /> <br />A darkness surrounds the dawn <br />In which we can live.<br /><br />Clare McWilliams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/into-the-breach/
