Please don't try to tell me that you know just how I feel When I'm trying very hard, pretending none of this is real Please do not compare me to the girl who lives next door, Your friend's auntie or a cousin, and theres always many more. I know that you all mean well, but in my grief I am unique No one else can have these feelings, those I find so hard to speak I wish that I could tell you what my heart is trying to say I just know that I still stumble as I drift from day to day. Please don't try to tell me that time will heal my pain Just now I need to feel it, I don't want to laugh again. Please just sit and listen, I don't mean to be a bore I'm just trying to remember what my life was like before. I'm grateful for your presence, but I may not wish to talk My life is on a pathway that I never chose to walk. My dreams have all been shattered and my hopes been set adrift Though I never will forget, I know in time my mood will lift. Please don't turn your back on me, I need you to be strong You think that I am coping but look deep, you'll see you're wrong. Please don't judge, my grief is raw, just now I see no end But friends I need, true friends indeed, on that I will depend. by Sharonxx
