with the sweat

comes the pain

because you knwo you have too

r e l i v e .

they ask you questions

scars burn

while memories...nightmares...surface.

now it's   r e t r y

(put them away)

pack up the suit case

they are done (so they say)

they took what they needed

they took what was given

it's time to r e v i v e.

Author's Note: i guess this poem really belongs in the december 2nd, 2003 folder but no one reads that. it's just really about telling the story over and over again only after you've got it put behind you.
