DON'T TELL ME
Don't tell me that you understand,
don't tell me that you know.
Don't tell me that I will survive,
how I will surely grow...
Don't tell me this is just a test,
that I am truly blessed,
that I am chosen for this task,
apart from all the rest.
Don't come at me with answers.
That can only come from me.
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
that I will soon be free.Don't stand in pious judgment
of the bonds I must untie
Don't tell me how to suffer,
and don't tell me how to cry.
My life is filled with selfishness,
my pain is all I see but....I need you,
I need your love. Unconditionally.
Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
and say "My friend, I care".
(anon)
