Pain Will Out

Her heart screams in pain
It’s cries go unheard
Buried deep within
Several layers of skin

Muffled with stuffing
Sealed firmly in place
Cries become dull echoes
Faint tingles in her toes

Having the last say
Her pain worms it’s way
As thinly disguised
Swirling rage in her eyes

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁

  Aww- that’s so lovely, B. Unfortunately, I don’t take part in these awards anymore because I never get the time to respond appropriately. However, I’m chuffed that you nominated me….Interacting with you is a reward in itself! Thank you! 🙂 🙂
