Patricia Contreras Poet Rhyme

Let Me Forget

Awakened to the stillness in the darkened room
Listen to the night sound as dawn is coming soon
Sleep eludes my weary body as I listen to my mind
Can’t chase away the thought of those words so unkind
Common sense says to let the hurtful words slip away
Must the anger and hurt dwell inside my heart this way
Lift the pain from me is the hearts anguished cry
Kneeling at the bedside I ask the father why
Will the end ever come to the price I've had to pay?
Will forgiveness for my mistakes ever come my way
As I return to lay my head upon my feather pillow
Just because some one says it doesn’t make it so
Doing my best is the way it was supposed to be
If I measure up to him above is what I long to see

Does the opinion of the sayer mean enough to you to let them suck you dry? I have been here many times and need to remember my own advise LOL. "Remember the source" is a good quote; if the persons not a good person and has no good intent neve let them steal life from you. Even if they are "good" and mean well, they're not walking in your shoes. Light & Love Debbie
