Through a wall of snow, I am sawing
Praying for an early spring thawing
Winter blues have me down
All I can do is frown
Teeth chatter, must be from the gnawing
Word of the Day – Thawing
FOWC with Fandango – Wall

Pushed upon, punched, beaten
Holes leave marks upon my soul
I keep standing, though weakened
But never again am I whole
Lean upon me, ever so gently
I can hold you up, I’m strong
I try so hard, but consequently
You always find me wrong
Inside this house, the walls
Keep secrets from the rest
Broken apart, the pieces fall
Tales never spoken, never confessed
Author’s Note: On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. (https://ncadv.org/statistics)
