sometime in march

the anniversary came and went. it was like any other day yet, it wasn't at all. i came across this poem today.... i wish i had found it earlier.

DON'T
don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know... don't tell me that i will surely survive, how i will surely grow... don't tell me this is just a test, that i am truly blessed... that i am chosen for the task, apart from all the rest... don't come at me with answers, that can only come from me... don't tell me how my grief will pass, that i will soon be free... don't stand in pious judgment, of the bonds that i must untie... don't tell me how to suffer, and don't tell me how to cry.... my life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all i see... but i need you, i need your love, unconditionally.... accept me in my up's and down's, i need someone to share.... just hold my hand and let me cry, and say, my friend, i care.
