No Time Left to Cry

there's no time to break down

pick up my littered pieces

and pull myself back off the ground

 

i can't sleep at night

i keep shaking the hands that break me

and i smile

though i'd rather be crying

and i breathe

though i feel more like dying

 

it's cold here

just like jesus never came

just like you promised me it'd be

when i called your name

but what can i do

there's no where to turn to

gotta keep my stride

no place left to hide

hit the ground running

no time left to cry

 

one foot faster than the devil

my pace is frantic

my life is hectic

but in this world as it is

i've got to bite the hands that freed me

what did you expect to find?

a better child?

a grateful woman?

well i offer you no peace of mind

 

keep crawling when my skin is gone

keep pulling as my finger bleed

i still can't sleep but there's no time to worry now

i'll make it through

and i'll just keep running until i learn how

there's no time for breaking down

pick myself back off the ground

and though i want to sleep and hide

i just keep moving

there's no time left to cry

YES!

 

thats what I felt so often. Your work is right. It fits.

 

I'm sorry, I had hoped I was alone.

I've always felt this way and never been able to truly express how it feels, I thank you sincerely for this poem.

 

And about your name, no matter how cold or evil you think you or anyone else is, there's still a capacity for life.

 

Trust me.

 

I know.

Thank you, Will, for the much appreciated feedback. In case you hadn't realized it, this is Shadowflower. I told you I'd finally join the Pen one of these days. Once more - thanks again.
