Your Bone of Contention
My body feels so weak,
I strain to hold a single feather.
But don't think that I'm not strong enough
To hold myself together.

My eyes swell up with tears,
I see your face as just a blur.
But don't think I can't see through you.
I see those colors un-obscured.

I'm so tired from my worries.
They keep my sleep from me at night.
But don't think I'm worried that my worries
Will make me fall without a fight.

You push these walls that are around me.
They crumble down, you think I'm done.
But don't think that it's that easy.
Know that I will overcome.

Awesome, Ashley!! Lots of strength of character peeking through the worrywart! That's all that matters in the end...overcoming!

You push these walls that are around me.
They crumble down, you think I'm done.
But don't think that it's that easy.
Know that I will overcome.

Loved it!!

What a beautiful message ASHLEY --- How many times I've said similar words myself - Oh! If these walls could talk. I'm pretty sure they'd speak of bones of contention as well - Interesting title for your poem... At anyrate - I just wanted to comment on the final line of your poem:

Quote:
Know that I will overcome.
So do I - So congrats on coming to that realization.
It's definitely something to smile about = Thanx for sharing your poem!

Jacquii.
