Shout and cry and grieve

LP2187


Notice of absence from LP2187
will be gone for a week

I tell myself that I’m just not okay

I wish I could just listen and believe

Since when did I deserve to be reprieved

The tension in the air brings me dismay

I feel my body starting to decay

My pain and trauma I can still conceive

The terror makes me shout and cry and grieve

Oh please I wish this fear would fade away

 

But even though my guilt and shame are strong

I push my angst aside and I can see

Although my soul is hurt and torn beneath

My vengeance is all that makes me so wrong

So I remove my rage and I am free

And finally I feel that I can breathe

            Hopefully the writing can help ease the situation, it is a good thing to acknowledge you do not feel ok and you are allowed to feel that way. Hope you have a better week.
