Midwest Author Lisa M. Cronkhite’s love for writing started when she was a teen, journaling of her torrid romance with her first boyfriend then and now husband of over three decades.

Don't Worry

I’m going to get it out,
some way or another.
Spit, yell, scream,
sing, spin this stuff
around. You want me to do this?
I’m walking in fog.
I’m not blind, but I can’t see.
I don’t know what you want of me.
I keep asking, all sorts of ways.
Run, jog, walk,
yell again. Cry.
God, the crying.
I cry my heart out
and still, I’m left with no. No,
you can’t do it.
I don’t want to hear it anymore.
The birds are chirping
