Sherry's Poem To Biker Jer

trudging through life

with trepidation and fears.

never acknowledging

the pain or the tears.

struggling to hold onto

one's sense of self,

tendencies to keep

your heart on the shelf.

questioning all,

whether right or wrong,

never listening or pausing

to enjoy life's song.

tragic mem'ries of old loves

haunt your soul

and steal the possibility

of what makes you whole.

guarded emotions

from betrayed trust

tear down your spirit,

as surely they must.

loosen your heart strings

and set them free.

catch this moment

and share it with me.
