Tears
All I have been able to do
Lately is to cry
When I get in my rack at night
I cry myself to sleep,
I feel so hurt, betrayed,
violated, angry, fearful
There is so much pain inside
No one knows how much
I am hurting inside,
Always trying to be strong
Trying to keep a brave face
To hide the pain from being
Sexually assaulted six times,
Going through the motions
Trying to hide my feelings
Feeling that I can’t hide
From them any more
Some of the feelings are
Ones that I want to run
And hide from
Too afraid to speak my truth,
Because of the pain, but have
To let the tears come
Afraid of the memories
Afraid of the pain
Afraid of letting the tears come
But deep inside you know
That you need to tell your story
To be able to heal
There is so much grief
So many tears that need to be cried
So sick of people telling you to just
Suck it up and go on like nothing happened
If I could have done that I would have
