Unwind Poem by Charmaine Mack (Exquisite Charm)

I sit here and think,
I am tired, too tired to blink.
So I must stay still and unwind,
But somehow, I can't clear my mind.

As the couch absorbs me in some more,
The tears begin to flow.
Yes, I got through another day.
It started good but went wrong along the way.

At work, I must wear the mask,
Or I will fear someone may ask.
The grief of losing a dear one,
The shock and denial have only begun.

With each passing moment,
I am trying to cope and give vent
To all the emotions bottled inside,
But until then, I can't unwind.
