I Just Can Get It

- Eliana Birman (New Jersey, USA)

i’ve never considered myself a caring person

i try and i try but i just can’t get it

i’m a words girl, a poet, a writer

i spin tales

i find comfort in words

but i cannot spin comfort from words

i try and i try but i just can’t get it

but honestly, sometimes silence is enough

sometimes presence is enough

trying is enough

i am enough

i’ve begun to think of myself as a caring person
