The Last Straw
February 18, 2014
I don't understand,
Are these insults
Necessary?
Why hide from
The truth?
I cannot take this,
I am cracking,
Breaking,
Crying.
I do not like
My own emotions,
I hide from them.
But now,
They are falling,
Falling from my eyes
In big,
Fat,
Tears.
I am considered strong
In heart,
Mind,
And body.
But things change
All the time.
I cannot handle myself
Anymore.
I am hurting
All the time.
I need
A way,
A way to fix
The damage
Done.
I need an
Antidote to
Myself.
This is
My
Last straw
