Burden of Barren

Nakita Beauclaire 1989 (Louisiana)

Free verse
Societal pressure
Femine instinct
Longing for impossible
Broken heart that can't heal
I don't want it
I do want it
I don't want it
Tears feel hollow
You don't understand
You don't feel this
How can I cope and come to an understanding it won't be?
It won't be
It won't be
Tv will slice open the wound when you don't expect it
I'm happy you're pregnant
I'm excited for you
I wish I could

Today was a stressful day and these thoughts can to me as I tossed in bed and could not sleep. Maybe these words can help other women express a subject that is hard to except or talk about. more…
