Don't
Tell Me

Don't
tell me that you understand,
Don't tell me that you know.
Don't tell me that I will 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 I must untie,
Don't tell me how to grieve,
Don't tell me when to cry.
My
life is filled with selfishness,
My pain is all I see,
But I need you and your love...
Unconditionally.
Accept
me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, "My friend, I care."
