had no idea how


apparently I don’t need
to be upset to be hurt
and I know the decision
to stay away is mine
as well as can be
given the void created
knew sitting in that cell
my whole life had changed
just had no idea how…

knew madness would ensue
thought understanding would come next
lack of respect resulted in anger
and harsh words and hurtful thoughts
and seen as someone to be ashamed of…

not ashamed of what I have done
or become working hard day and night
to support the family I became a part of
but apparently blood is much thicker
than water no matter where it comes from
and new this well is as dry as a bone…
