Problems

Its your fault .
I finally see this .
You told me ,
to stop being so absorbed in my own problems ,
and pay attention to someone else's for a change .

Thank you ,
Now I can't talk to people .
I can't tell them what's wrong .
I can't explain ,
Why I look like I'm crying ,
without the tears falling .

You called me selfish ,
for not really caring ,
about a petty problem you had ,
when my own father almost died ,
then you made a joke about heart attacks .

Everyone tells me ,
I don't have any problems .
I think they should tell that ,
to my life ,
and every scar my problems ,
have given me .

I've been with boys ,
who were so kind and caring ,
then turned around ,
raped me ,
Beat me ,
cheat on me ,
and mentally abuse me .
and you get mad at me ,
for not really caring ,
that he didn't call you on time ?

I can't handle it ,
I can't even cry anymore ,
not for myself .

All I do ,
when I have a problem now ,
is pretend I don't ,
when others are around .

But you're a b***h ,
all of you who were so mean ,
And I WILL over-come this ,
and I will shine the light I gain ,
on you , and make you feel the way ,
you forced me to feel .

Very cathartic and personal. Sometimes we need to write these poems.

"I can't even cry anymore" That line speaks volumes
