Nothing by Regina Pate

I didn't come here to write for you today
I can't find the words to write you anyway
I can honestly say it hurts inside
And I hate that I coudn't tell you
Even if I tried

My soul longs for reason and expresson
It cries out
begs me
For my answer to the question

I ache so bad that I can't cry
I don't want to deal with this much pain
any longer
I hope it kills me
cuz I can't get any stronger

But even though
my mind and my heart
have learned to disobey
My soul is reaching out
Helping me find my way

I really don't like feeling sorry for myself
But it's not me that I'm thinking of
I'm concerned for my daughter's health

I asked her what shes doing
and this was her reply
She said I'm crying
I couldn't ask her why

They took the phone from her
so she got in trouble
Since when did punishment consist of
not talking to your mother

I know this is really long
Again
But like I said
I wasn't going to write today
But you asked me
How I've been

I keep avoiding it all together
It's just easier that way
than to lie and say I'm fine
When I know that you know better

So I kept telling myself to wait
maybe tomarrow it'll be true
I thought if I just gave it time
I'd be fine
And then come back
And answer you

But it's taking longer
Than I ever imagined
And I really need
My friend

So I'm writting because
it's the right thing to do
It's because I need to write
But I didn't want to write to you

Not today

Anyway, I have to write it out like this
There is no taking a short cut
Or leaving anything out
This is what it takes to get me here
It's the little things that count

And I need this to remind me
Of what it takes to get it right
I have to do the baby steps too
Even though I know
After the darkness comes the light
I have to remember
Where there is darkness there can be no light
I must walk from that darkness into the dawn
Here comes the train
I must jump on!
