Cry

~ Cry ~ Clothes ripping I am struggling I can’t get away I can’t even scream So alone So very alone I wish someone would come along Make him quit Make him go away But no one comes And he gets his way And finally he runs away First he threatens me If I tell he will find me Should I believe him I don’t know I just know I want to go home I want to curl up in a corner I want to erase this from my memory Pretend it didn’t happen It’s all so embarrassing I could I have been so dumb Why did I walk that way I feel so guilty I feel so ashamed I feel all alone I don’t know who to turn to Who would be there If I break down and ~ Cry ~ Darkness seems to follow me I wish I could run and hide from it My troubles just seem to follow me I want so bad to forget I want so badly to pretend it didn’t happen But there he is again With that scary grin It sends chills down my spine I just want to get away from him But I don’t want to ~ Cry ~ I feel my world crashing down I know in my heart that there are many who care Yet my head wants to do all the talking I feel like I am slipping away I am starting to question my sanity Everything seems so dark and bleary The sun may be shining But to me it is ever so grey I feel a lump in my throat a forming But I don’t want to ~ Cry ~ Alone and scared A part of me starts to wake up inside A glimmer of hope As I make that first call Ready to reach out Hoping someone will be there To comfort me To listen as I talk Or just be there So I won’t feel alone As I know now I can’t get through this alone It is just to much For one person to deal with I hear the ringing One ring Two rings and three I am ready to hang up As my courage slips away Then I hear a click as someone picks up She is there To talk to She listens as I tell her Then a small pause and She says she is on her way I feel a little relief knowing I am not alone anymore I hear a knock on the door As I open the door for her The lump seems to get bigger Then the tears spill over And I know I am not alone And this time I let myself go I let myself ~ Cry ~ By: Jean Shular

Very heartspoken. I am a counselor and the feelings you describe capture this well.

A very vivid write the emotions reaching out from the stanzas to grab the reader holding them until the end. Well done.
