Not Quite Ready for Acceptance

Still angry
trying not to let it
poison me

I wish you would 
just listen

Hear my pain

Maybe it would 
get better
go away

If you would just listen

I could tell you how I feel

I might yell, cry, scream

but it would be out 
in the air
instead of wasting me away

The truth is never the enemy

Lies kill and truth saves

I can't pretend to be okay

I can't pretend nothing is wrong

I can't

I just can't
