Can it Stop

December 31, 2014

I want it to stop

all the pain and dissapointment

I want the abuse and concussions to cease 

I really dont think I can take it anymore

physically, mentally, or emotionally

I want it to stop

its been non stop since I was 4

the abuse 

my childhood taken from me

kept it goin my whole life

My depression worsens everyday because now I got more than just abuse on my mind

I got stress from others

school, my love life, my friends

it just keeps piling on

my mom always tells me that God gives his biggests war and challenges to his strongest soldiers

but what if I dont want to be strong anymore

Im always the strong one

always the happy one

the one always bringing joy to others

how is it that I can make everyone else happy but I cant help myself

I want it to stop

all the arguing

its like everyday its something different

Ive been trying to control myself 

but do you know how hard it is to control yourself when you have the worst anger

like i dont know whether to cry or yell or argue back

majority of the time I try not to fuel the fire

but even if i look the wrong way somethin explodes

I want it to stop

everything

somedays I just want to drive to the middle of nowhere and just sit there and cry

but lucky me I have people who care

even though everyone who cares has caused me some kind of pain

I just want a break from the world 

but thats not possible is it

cuz the world keeps goin and life needs to be lived

even if I dont have the strength to live it

somedays I look to other people for the source of my strength

why do I do that?

am I wrong for that?

why dont I look deep in myself for strength?

I wish I had the answers

I used to have someone I could tell everything to and they left me with no hesitation

so now who do i trust enough to tell everything to

no one i guess

I want it to stop

all the lies

every single one Ive been told

and every one that is continuing to be told

i dont know

I just want it all to stop

I want everything in my life to be erased

so I can start fresh

knowing everything that I know now

I wanna start over

I really do 

but i know I cant

I just dont know if I can keep going

Can it just stop?
