Good Cheer
The flashbacks
Bring back the pain
They create a tremendous
Amount of shame
You try not to
Blame yourself
From where you stand
You just need help
Trying to shake it
But it won’t come loose
Makes you feel as if
Your head is in a noose.
Don’t let your past
Catch you crying
Don’t let it make you
Feel like dying
Jesus spoke up and
Said I’ll be there
For each and
Every Prayer
SO BE OF GOOD CHEER

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
