Someone I Know Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Violent emotions being kept in check, hidden at times even from the person they have afflicted.
Sorrow rending itself throughout a lifetime of abandoned reality.
Obliquity endeavors hiding, jumping into the picture when least expected.
Bouncing into focus at inopportune moments, blocking the visions of being whole, tearing anew, self-esteem, pulling the person into puzzle pieces, unable to fit herself together at times.
Tears flow unbidden when thoughts come hither and yon, filling her heart with despair and blackened mourning.
