i will be jealous and angry 
if they come in 
with little effort
and you open wide 
your hardened,
guarded, 
barbed wire heart 
to them,
when i have cut myself 
on your thorns, 
knocked till 
darkness fell,
and even when it did, 
i stood outside 
in the cold
and you never let me 
in. 


-the ugly truth

Shoooooooooot Jana. The word pictures. I read this 4 times. Once to my husband. You are a writer and a poet my friend. I hope you claim those titles and wear them proudly.
