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.
