Behind the Poem: FORCED INTIMACY

The poem, FORCED INTIMACY, (Beauty for Ashes, pg 46) was written on April 15, 2007.  This was another poem I wrote about a Bible study I was involved in at the time.  The others seemed to know each other, but I didn't necessarily know them.  So, each week, when they wanted to know the best and worst moment of my week, I found I couldn't be as honest as they were.
