because maybe there is no weakness in saying—
"please, let me be weak—"
maybe there is a lessening of sorrow in the admittance,
"please, i am sad..."
we build communities for support, for mutuality,
for help in times of trouble but then—
cannot admit to trouble?
please, i am harried, i am worn, i am tired:
i come to you now lacking value
and proving worth.
