April 18th Five answers to the same question

 

April 18th  Five answers to the same question

 

People wouldn’t understand, not now.

How much things in 50 years have changed.

They were different times, attitudes re-arranged.

It was not acceptable. No.

But nor was talking about it.

 

And, anyway, what was… well, just was.

Got on with it. Coped.

I have no desire to describe and give

Voice to words that would lead me to re-live.

 

There is a pride that is tangible,

That I never told. And don’t.

And I conquered demons and fears

Inferiorities, complex and false through the years.

 

Names. I do not want to use.

For me they are banned.

Nor do I want to know what happened next.

I don’t give a damn!

 

Guilt? Yes, of course.

I should have said.

Could have; but I didn’t.

Truth is in the latter.

Now it really doesn’t matter.
