"17 Years"
17 years of sorrow
And you pretend
That Im okay
And this isnt the end.
But Ive taken all
My mind and heart can
And I refuse to
Do it all again.
I wont sit by and
Watch myself die
No more bleeding
And asking myself why.
I wont let you
Put this all on me
Or stand by and
Not make you see.
That Im not one
That can be bought
Be your trophy?
I think not!
You spent 17 years
Fucking me up
Now Ill spend 17 more
Trying to reconstruct.
With pain and sorrow
My heart is filled
What youve destroyed
Im trying to rebuild.
Why cant you see that
Theres something wrong
Im fading away and
We're almost gone.
I cant let you
Pull me down
You need to realize
I wont always be around.
I felt such strength in this poem and I can say it was really good. May God bless you on your journey and give you all the strength you need.
this is so sad and I can relate my father wasnt around much and when he was it was only to make false promises...but eventually you will have to forgive even if it seems hard because in febuary my father died....and a week before he died he asked me if i forgave him and i said no...I never got to tell him i forgave him and I can only hope he knows i do...try to wqork that out hon...because you never know what could happen.
