Revisit a potential loss
To manage, will expect of course
With loss confirmed, it’s no surprise
This time ready, more the wise
Feeding fast, though sleep eludes
Enthusiasm, but holding wounds
No praising, hugging, teaching for
This one, will even any score
Assured of self, from day of birth
At home assured of all her worth
But other’s insecurities – and need for all conformity
Will squeeze, compress my heart with ease
To know your value and your worth
While others doubt, you yourself birth
Your own heart knows compression’s squeeze
As stifled, thwarted you’ll not be pleased
