Unhappy Let the Girl Cry (poem) - July 2nd 2013, 06:03 AM
She remembers the past

When she closes her eyes.

All the tears she never shed.

All the times they said she was fine.

When is it OK to cry?

You never let her in the past.

It hurt her inside.

Are tears so wrong

Shed by a child

Who's been so painfully wronged?

The soul of the child

Is torn in two

Wanting to cry

But wanting her parents' love, too.

"Don't cry."

The parents said.

"You're just a child. You have nothing to cry about."

What she felt, they said, was wrong.

And, for her, they know what's right.

So confusion set in and the girl's feeling, eventually, were gone

And numbness took their place.

That girl grew up feeling cold and dead

With not much to say

And a heart full of dread.

I am the girl. Growing up, my parents always told me not to cry, that I have things easy since I'm a child so I have no reason to cry. I was hurt and they told me I wasn't. I was sad and they said I was being dramatic. I was so confused. They'd tell me that my own feelings and experiences were wrong. They told me I wasn't allowed to cry, but let my older sister and little brother could. What makes me so different from them? Why is it just me? I still can't understand why, though I try to.

Beautiful poem

This is really great! Your parents were wrong when they said you couldn't let it out. You have every right to.

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

Magical poem

very good

sorry you felt like this

Every heartbreak we go through makes us the perfect person for our soulmates. Shaping us into what they've always been looking for.

Need to talk, PM me.

To people(like me) who think asking for help annoys people I say:
It would bother me if you DIDN'T ask for help.

The poem was great, and no one can tell you that your feelings are wrong, you feel that way for a reason.

"Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars."

"For those who don't care, for those who can't see, never give up, always thrive to be free."

Smile, you are beautiful www.operationbeautiful.com

Blessed Be!
