~~Please Don't Worry~~

Please don't worry about me

As the tears slide down my face

Please don't fear for my life

As I whisper I'm not okay

Please don't let me see

That you're afraid for me

Because I'm taking all my strength

From the love of those who know me

Can't you see how desperate I am

To see hope in your eyes?

Can't you tell how much I need

For someone to be stronger than me?

I need someone I can break on

Who is stable enough to keep

Me from tumbling into my past

And the world I pray to abandon

Please don't worry

Not in a way that I can notice

Please don't cry

Because I will cry too

I don't presume to know

What kind of thing is plaguing me

But I'm glad I can't remember my dreams

For I wake up with tears

In my eyes

Is this pain left over

From all the broken hearts

And inner shame

And hatred

I have carried for too long?

Is this pain left over

From being abandoned

So many times

By those who promised to stay?

Is this pain left over

From the ones who sought

To keep me strong

But only broke me in the end?

What is this pain from?

I need to know, so I know

What brings me down in the end....
