Don't cry for me

Don't cry for me

A Poem by Layi Tate

My heart is aching and more and more consistently breaking I'm falling to pieces and there is no escaping no one to save me and set me free oh how I pray and wait for my victory I was hopeful for a while but once again my hope is fading
and I'm falling deeper into the darkness that I have been determined on defeating but it just keeps on seeming like it's winning I try to be strong and hold it together for my family but they don't know what it's like to suffer as much as I have in agony they don't know what it's like to be under torment and how it feels to be torn from the inside out of your stomach and have your sleep taken away from you they don't know the excruciating pain that I have felt they don't see that I'm disappearing and becoming less of myself it's getting easier to convince myself I am worried that I'm going to leave them with a sorrow and grief that cannot be easily mended and healed but I'm beginning to no longer speak of how what has happened to me makes me feel Deeply too many times already I have been left alone to stew in my thoughts and feelings without deliverance I am no good or of positive benefit to anyone who enters into the path of my existance they don't realize that they need to build and army to combat its resistance to releasing me I have become it's captive and nobody seems to care but me it's about that time I'm thinking this isn't just a matter of my heart speaking this is about me
Leaving ........ because I'm in too deep and its not going to Set me free
I'm going to die with it inside of me
Don't cry for me

Powerful emotion and thoughts.
"Leaving ........ because I'm in too deep and its not going to Set me free
I'm going to die with it inside of me
Don't cry for me"
You led the reader to the strong ending with description of struggle and the feeling of being alone in the battle. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
