Asia Schmidt Poet Rhyme

Let Me Cry In Peace

Don't ask me what's wrong, right now  I don't need help 
And no I don't think I can do everything by myself
Just let me cry in peace 

Don't give me your positive thinking quotes 
Hoping that they will alleviate the weight I must currently tote 
Just let me cry in peace 

No right now I don't need to pray 
Truth be told I wouldn't know what to say
Just let me cry in peace 

I know that your efforts are well intended 
But your desire for me to quickly get over this causes me to be quite offended
Just let me cry in peace

Grief is a process that heals with time 
So please stop asking me to give you a fake "I'm doing just fine" 
Just let me cry in peace

Good write. Tony Asia Schmidt February 1, 2016 at 3:52 PM Thank you, i am grateful the poem was able to speak to you in different ways
