stories to tell

we people working in this field, we all have stories to tell
they are other people's stories, their life accounts and the things that happened to them

we hear them, the bravest among us directly from the person, the rest via other means
they are not easy lives, they are not easy stories to tell or hear, they are not easy to swallow

we store them in our memory, voluntary and involuntarily and don't let them out often
they are real stories about humanity, the worst and best woven together irremediably

we recount those other people's life stories when we feel our audience will understand
they are inevitably, those working in this field with stories to tell
