Don't Lose Your Head - Paperback

by Jeanette S. Powers (Author)

I was standing

(You were there)

Then I fell down

there was no reason

to have fallen

except there was

a snap

I broke my leg

I was standing

then I fell

no one could fathom

how taking one step

could shatter me into pieces

(don't lose your head

it is ok if you die)

the doctor said I would break

bones the rest of my life

17 so far

I might never forgive

a broken promise

(my mother said:

"You never did know

when to shut your mouth")

Like father

like daughter

my aunt told me

he killed himself

to spite me

My Father was both

David and Goliath
