Under Cover

by Maple Tree   Jul 10, 2018


Change occurs when "damaged"
is labelled crossed my chest
and everyone can see me-

dodging for privacy
escaping a soft moment
under the sun
to cry for my girl
without
questions.

I'm left lingering
speechless
because this heartbreak
is unbearable
and to be honest
I feel people would
not be shocked
if I ended my own life-

the fact is this...

I'm shocking people more
by getting up each day
and forcing a smile
crossed my face
because the labels
fall off
when I'm alone in the dark.

    Andrea, you show us strength each and every day, and help us gain strength in our own selves by showcasing yourself as the guide we look up to. I have no more words to say than thank you very much and I salute you for it all.

    Andrea, my heart hurts for you. I wish I could just hug you, really long and hopefully send energy to you. Life has indeed sent you a lot of kick your ass moments this past year. The strength you have shown is nothing short of miraculous. It speaks volumes of the woman you are. It's ok to cry though and we are all here to support you, hand you a tissue or two and just love you....hugs, hugs, hugs, strength and love .....

    Andrea, this is a very emotional write and expressed beautifully but I still can't even begin to imagine the pain you must be going through. I wish you all the best for you to stay strong through all of this.
