it was like whiplash
the emotions jerked me
outta my safe place
vulnerable and emotional
for the first time
I indulged in my emotions
I let come what may
this young girl came out
with a whole lot of hate and angst
displaced
she had no clue
what to do
weeping
and then a thought came sweeping
sweeping over her
like cold winds sweep
over tall mountains
realizing that in fact
she was continuing to allow pain
she was allowing him to win the war
she knew she had to settle the score
no more would she endure
the final veil had been lifted
curiosity had taken over
answers she had to have
she was not prepared for what she grabbed
she sat back realizing
curiosity had killed the cat
satisfaction was not bringing it back.
