Strengthen Me

You pressured me to max 
And I just went along with it
Pleasing you
Easing you
And honestly I believed in you
But now I have lost faith in you
You made a great decision but you didn't follow thru
Then the pressure was on me
The problem landed on me
Then the little ones was shoved and put on me
And I went along with it 
To ease you
To please you
Because I love you
I respect you
You were hurt 
So I became Mrs. Fix it
That's when the stress joined the rest..
Joined the klan
And altogether the klan destroyed me
Now I'm no longer me
Well no longer the jolly me
I'm the stressed me
I'm not saying its all your fault 
But did add a big part
It was daily 
It was constant
I couldn't say no
I couldn't turn you down
I guess I got lucky though
Because the pain was sometimes at ease
And when it was active I only felt it in the side of my neck
Nothing big
Something I dealt with
It was controllable
So don't feel so bad you only caused me about a ton of pain
But strength is what I gained
So I guess I should thank you
Thank you for causing me pain
And because of you I'm a little stronger
And with less stress I know I'll live longer.

I like this. It;'s like I can feel the feelings that you described in your poem
