Beyond the Surface
a day of tears and broken spirits
spent on the floor in
frustration and no commmication
blame, causes and denial
tired of the lectures and accusations
the guilt and confusion
years spent thinking that i had to give everything to have people care
dinners, money, time
everything has been for the keeping of the peace
the status quo
don't understand why everything broke
family torn apart
freindships with conditions
unconitional love that was not there when needed
hurt and confusion
never meant to keep things from people just tried to keep things separate
would never endanger those i love
truly believe that it was my duty to help a sick person
but am learning to realize
it cannot happen if i lose everything that is me.
years spent giving in
years spent not speaking up
years spent keeping peace at all costs
