Between The Lines Poem by Barry Middleton

Between The Lines



I leave nothing
between the lines

my heart on stage
for all to see

I hear you speak
I hear the secrets

a lowered voice
regrets you hide

you could scream
if you wished

I already hold
a million secrets

they are not heavy
they do not crush

I have been there
choking tears

I held it in
held it too long

now I reject
every silent fear

I like this poem. It seems a fitting on for a poet such as you. The message is clear to the reader as well as from the speaker. Scream vs. Silence and acceptance.and encouragement.

I was a mental health counselor so I don't believe in holding feeling in.
