The Unspoken Speaks

She is there
She waits
With her head down
She waits
Not knowing if she is giving up
Or taking a break

Sick from all the unspokens
All the filters, the mazes
The weaves and blind turns
She is naeusous 
Motion sick

She used to love roller coasters 
Now they are too real
The ins and outs and upside downs

The yes's and no's 
The supposed to's the shows
The grudges felt but not heard or spoken

The vibration, the tremor of her voice
Coming from the inside out
She has a choice
She purges. She lets go
The ride slows down

She can see, she can feel
She lifts her head
It is real. 
She is here.

Alive and dead
Empty and fed

Proverbs 17 Woman

The highest woman on the ladder, who can find.  
The one with the scars is the most divine.  
Except for the scars are on the inside for none to see.  
For all the Yes’s she gave in word and deed.
What does she lack?  No one knows
Except for the stains on her sheets and pillows.
Proverbs 17 women who can find
The most noble, hardworking, and divine
She gets up before the sun and takes care of everyone
But what does she do when the day is done?
Does she lay under the stars and wonder who is there
If she says No, will someone up there will still care?
The highest on the ladder, who can see
She is too high, even for me.
