Don't tell me that you understand-Don't tell me that you know, Don't tell me that I will survive Or how I will surely grow. - Don't tell me that this is just a test That I am truly blesed That I am chosen for this 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 stan in pious judgment Of the bounds I must untie, Don't tell me how to suffer And don't tell me how to cry! - My life is filled with selfishness, My pain is all I see, But, I need you now, I need your love, undonditionally. - 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." ○○○○○○○ By Joanetta Hendel ○○○○○○○
