Within the poet
Lies the tortured soul
Lurking in the shadows
Within the woman
Lies the Angry child
Never spoken for
Within the heart
Lie the scars inflicted
Tears silent but falling
Within me
Lie the words
Longing to be spoken
Behind the tolerance
Lies the anger
Resentment pushed down
Heartbroken I waver
Between Forgiveness
And unspoken indignities
