I Understand Poem by Lucia Siwela

To the woman who can't walk away
Believe me I understand
I was in your shoes last night
It was the insults first
Before I knew it a loud cloud crossed my face
I had no cry in me
Only silence filled my mind
My heart clustered with gigantic bangs
With my eyes closed and no sound whatsoever
Tears began to flood my eyes
Heat covered my face
I heard voices next to me
Couldn't make sense of anything
I'm still gathering strength
Dear woman who can't walk away just yet
I understand
