Who can you tell?
Stephen Chinnock

Who can you tell?
Your deepest hurt
without impinging on
their respected space
and peace of mind
Professional help required here
and a member of family
or a close friend
who’ll say
let it out
it’s yours to own and share
will not hurt us
All we can do is listen
feed you up
give you a bed
you are welcome to that
and we love having you here
that’s a blessing from heaven
Sorting out the deep crevices
of your heart and hurt
needs a neutral background
so that you can write
on a blank page
sorting it out for yourself
Given that I can survive
the storms on the beach
of a stormy life
to walk again with contentment
knowing that there are others who care!
