A  CRI  DE  COEUR

Does everyone have one:

at least one  cri  de  coeur?

I tried to tell you what I was feeling

but you would not listen.

Maybe you were also crying.

Daddy wouldn’t ….

Mommy was always  somewhere else

as she sat there while he yelled.

I wanted peace in the family,

but nobody else said anything.

I could have been a poster child

for “The Scream!”
