pull the nail from my heart

it will not bleed

for the nail

you see

represents strength

whether drawn or withdrawn

from it

the aged blood pump will feed

beating all the more fiercely back

raw emotions

so lost in greed

my motto

Don't cry

make a joke instead

it works for me

well,

sometimes it does..............

(Dec. 19, 1997)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this tells of the many times I've been heart broken or just plain hurting and how I use poetry to try to make sense of the non sense and try to explain to myself why this or that had to happen and I was hurt in the process. many times such poetry is just
my own private form of therapy. I know not everyone has this luxury.
Knowing that alone humbles me greatly many times.
