Tell me to be strong
Tell me I have a comforter
But the depth of my pain
Only I have experienced
It's easy for you to say,
"Be strong"... For it is not your turn
I mask my pain to please you
But how genuine can this be?
Night time comes
That's when I really feel the gap
The loss of my beloved
Which only He can heal.
Be strong
Be still
Be comforted
Do not cry
I may cover my wounds in your presence
I may hide my true feelings when you're around
Yet tears keep pouring at night
My pillow is tear stained
And my heart continues to ache.
Allow me to express how I truly feel
Don't judge me for being sad
Pain is not weakness
Grieving is my road to healing.
I will be strong when I'm done
I will move on when the pain is gone
I will rejoice when I have healed
My strength will come with time.
