THE BARE MINIMUM

Depression is how I feel 

Im just living 

Please just let me feel 

While I’m trynna heal 

Guard my heart as I shed my tears on you 

Don’t take my pain & used it for you own disposal 

I’m only human 

Trying to love others 

As if I never been hurt 

Please don’t judge me without knowing me 

My heart is cold 

My mind is weak 

Every time I sleep I flash back to where things was evil 

When people did me the dirty way & try to play victim with my mind 

As I called out for them 

Dey look upon other women or something to fill the void of me 

Came after me like this is what you wanted 

When only to come to realization that in fact I was to much for you 

My heart my emotions & my desires

Was more than you could bare 

So you made feel ashamed

You admonished me when I had no one 

You played all the right cards to get me 

Only to misused me 

I just can’t help but wonder why I haven’t become evil 

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My country
