Soak up a cup of disappointment
Several spoonfuls of hurt
A dash of ill treatment -
Add Loneliness - just a squirt!
Take the medicine on the chin
Swallow it down like a good ‘un
Whilst wearing a false grin
Mentally - the damage done!
Coz there it sits - a heavy knot
The ball of hurt - rattling inside
Until the poison erupts from that spot
Opening the flood gates wide,
Then the tears flow from my eyes
And a new me will arise!
