So Tired

I'm tired ...

Tired of hearing words like
" Time heals everything. "
Time will never heal this empty
place called my heart.

Tired of hearing
" She loves you, you are her Mom
and you can never be replaced. "
Hmm ... Seems i"m not only replaceable
but disposable too.

I'm so tired of putting on a fake smile
and pretending to be happy.
Tired of being strong and holding back
the tears.

Truth is - I'm lost
This pain is unforgiving
I can hardly breathe

I'm so very, very, tired.

Oh Brenda, some of us know time heals our wounds. But the scars remain to let us know what we have endured. Even so Brenda, please do not scratch these scars anymore. Its time to rest. Excellent way to express yourself. Thanks for sharing.
