Don't Cry For Me

 

Don’t Cry For Me

The days seem shorter

And the months come faster

The sun still shines

And the wind still blows

So don’t cry for me

I’m alright.

The rain can stop

And my eyes can see

The mountains are still high

And I’m still going to climb

So don’t cry for me

I’m alright.

The world awaits my arrival

And the path is calling my name

The battle still isn’t over

And I’m still going in without fear

So don’t cry for me

I’m alright.

My heart floats in the air

And it is up for grabs

My guard is still up

And I’m still fighting

So don’t cry for me

I’m alright.

The mountains are still high...
The battle still isn't over...
My heart floats in the air...

I like how you acknowledge the vulnerability that is inherent in all of us and yet you believe that you possess the strength to emerge out of the darkness.

Well done. I like your thoughts.

I was going to quote a few lines and say that they were my favorite, but I cant do that. I love the whole thing. Tell me how you have come to be so strong...If I had the determination expressed in this poem, my life would not be as difficult. THe pain would definately be there, but it wouldnt be so overwhelming...
Well done.

Ah, you've managed to put my determined attitude into your words. My favorite words are "I'm fine, leave me alone, don't worry about me," and of course, "Don't waste those tears on me." The reality of it is that when I'm fighting the hardest to be alone is when I need a friend the most. You did a great job with this poem and I'm glad I stopped by to read it. Keep on writing!
