Week 3

                                                                          Questions

Tell me when this will all go away,

Someone please promise me I’ll be okay,

Show me where I must go to escape,

Take my trembling hand, keep me safe,

Don’t let me give up no matter how hard I fall,

Push me onwards as I struggle to crawl,

Find me the girl I once used to be,

I can’t find her myself, where is she?

Apologies

Forgive me my lies, forget my mistakes,

Accept my struggles, remember my faith,

Let go of the pain I have caused you my love,

No matter how hard I tried it was never enough,

I want to heal the wounds I have made in your heart,

Undo all this harm I never wanted to cause,

Let me try to once again make things right,

And kiss the scars which brought tears to your eyes.

Names

I am Rachel,

I have cried, and still laugh,

Have been hurt, yet I love,

Wished to give up, but now see hope,

Have been wounded, now I’m healing.

Unequal

I told you

I loved you-

You asked how much.

I cried-

You asked me why.

I couldn’t tell you-

How could I explain

That no matter how much I loved you,

I knew,

It would never,

Be enough.

Tears,

In trying to love the whole world I have fallen so short,

All I wanted to do was love, but instead all I have done is hurt,

In trying to ease sorrows I have only caused more,

All my efforts carried you farther from their cures,

In trying to bring you to a place of peace,

All I succeeded in doing was to cause more grief,

In trying to fulfill a task which of me was never asked,

All the good I tried to do was stained so black,

Looking back at all I've ruined my eyes weep,

Selfishly for my own flaws; I deserve all I've reaped.

Stronger

I want to be stronger than this,

I want to be okay again,

I want to be free of this guilt, this shame,

free of all this unbearable pain,

I want to smile again and laugh,

I want you to forgive me for all I've done,,

Promise me you’ll never leave me,

One more time let me see the sun

Please know how much I love you,

See how hard everyday I'm trying,

Remind me of all I’m living for,

Hold me in your arms while I am crying,

Don’t lose faith in me,

I am stronger than you know,

Stronger than before,

Strong enough to hope,

 capable of growth

The Truth

Please tell me there is hope for me,

This isn’t how I wanted to be,

Please tell me I deserve better than this,

I want to know a day of peaceful bliss,

Please tell me my future will be brighter,

I want to be my life’s own writer,

Please tell me I’ll reach a better place,

I want to feel a smile touch my face,

Please tell me that you’ll hold my hand,

I want to you to give me strength to stand,

Please tell me what I fail to see,

I want to know my own beauty,

Please tell me freedom is my right,

I want desperately to succeed in this fight,

Please tell me I’ll experience all the joys of life,

I want to silence this inner strife,

Please tell me I’ll be given back my stolen youth,

I want so much for this to be the truth.
