Tears They Will Shed

by Ann Stareyes   Nov 6, 2005


Life can be a struggle
So many hills I've had to climb
Long dark and lonely roads
I travel most of the time.

Sometimes I feel unloved
And it truly hurts so bad
What happened to respect among families
When it's lost its surely sad.

I'm about ready to throw my hands up
And just say the hell with it all
I'm tired of my heart breaking
And to many downfalls.

I should have walked away
All those years ago
For once I should've put me first
But I loved my family so.

If I should die before I wake
I've truly left my mark
A woman that's been worthy
God blessed with a loving heart.

He knows the heartache I've endured
And the mountains I've climbed
One day this journey will come to an end
Then maybe true happiness I can find...

Some day they'll have many regrets
And pain will fill their hearts
They'll hate they didn't respect me
And tears will live in their hearts.

    Angela ...
    It truly breaks my heart that people you love so much hurt you in the worst posible ways .....

    It seems the harder and harder you try the more and more it hurts ..
    You have a beautiful heart Angela and I don't understand how there could be one single person that knows you can't see that ...
    As you know I have alot of problems with my mom and the more I try to love her the more rejected I feel each time ..
    You try to live up to what they want you to be but in the end you disappoint yourself ...because you are not being who you want to be ....you are trying to be what they want you to be ........

    Angela I do sincerly hope you find your hapines someday and that whomever it is that makes you feel so sad ..........is the one who gives you that happiness .....and realizes the pain they've inflicted upon you ...
    This is such a heartfelt poem Angela because it really hits home for me ...

    ~ Hugs Angela ~ You must always truly believe how beautiful and special you are ....because it's not just me who thinks so ...
