No Damsel


I may be distressed

but not show it,

not sure if I know how. 

It cannot help, 

not now. 

I might like to scream, 

but it won't come. 

Why would it?

Where would it 

be from?

I might want to cry

or try to shake,

but suffer, still, 

for my own sake. 

Anxious fits 

and attacks of panic

won't do any good, 

just make you frantic. 

Righteous anger, 

why is it a sin? 

That has helped

where I've been.
