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

I love this as it is near and dear to me during a grief. I also got a bit emotional reading this as I could put myself right back into that feeling. Good write. Tony
