Let Go
Can this wall be broken down?
Can this pain ever go away?
I've tried and tried with all the prayers and lectures
It just always seems to come back.
Though I may be struggling with whether I want to take my next breath the next day
I find someway to put my game face on
Greet my friends, family, acquaintances, church members with a fake smile
Everything fake
Fake Friends
Fake Teachers
And even FAKE family members
Did they try to comfort me when I was hurt by one of their own
Did they try to get me help?
No
They thought I was lying
Lier
Lier
Lier
Was all I heard.
Why would a little girl so innocent want to lie about something so brutal?
That incident scarred me forever.
My depression was so easy to disguise
It was until I finally was able to tell someone that people realized what was really going on.
Having guys ask me..are you a virgin.
As soon as I hear those words it feels like that person hammered my heart.
Something that was taken away that I could never get back.
After telling my mother what happened
I saw tears in her eyes.
They weren't tears of sorrow
They were tears of regret
All she could ask herself was "why"?
Why could go on forever.
I've chosen not to let this pain take over every aspect of my life
Time to move on
Time to take that step forward
Time to forget the past
Time to live my life
Without regret.....
