Basket Case (Sonnet)


How else could I have survived? The pressure of accepting the shock Melancholy held me back So, that heartache is no longer just a "heartache" A heartache that is incredulous, A heartache that is insignificant, Made me wear the scar in pride But, I am grief-stricken And that reality is live So, that heartache is no longer just a "heartache" The heartache is sick The heartache is shame The inside voice is raised A can of worms is open.
