“Stop Complaining”
So you’ve told me to stop complaining
But damn, I just needed to be heard
I’ve been holding all this in for so long
I’m struggling to put it all into word
But all of my words have run out
Way before these feelings ever do
I’m being crushed under this weight
And I still can’t complain to you?
I just want someone to know
Just how much I’m dying inside
I’m tired of being so damn strong
With all these burdens to hide
So let me complain a little longer, man
Because you never hear it from me
I never want to bring it into focus but
My shattered mind is getting lonely
I just want to say it once
So you can understand my stress
And you don’t try to dismiss me
When I just need to decompress
I never complained to you
And I never chomp at the bit
I just plaster a smile on my face
But inside I’m really losing my shit
It’s lonely out here in the medical abyss
It’s depressing and many times draining
With too much I want to protect you from
So don’t ever tell me to stop complaining
But damn, I just needed to be heard
I’ve been holding all this in for so long
I’m struggling to put it all into word
But all of my words have run out
Way before these feelings ever do
I’m being crushed under this weight
And I still can’t complain to you?
I just want someone to know
Just how much I’m dying inside
I’m tired of being so damn strong
With all these burdens to hide
So let me complain a little longer, man
Because you never hear it from me
I never want to bring it into focus but
My shattered mind is getting lonely
I just want to say it once
So you can understand my stress
And you don’t try to dismiss me
When I just need to decompress
I never complained to you
And I never chomp at the bit
I just plaster a smile on my face
But inside I’m really losing my shit
It’s lonely out here in the medical abyss
It’s depressing and many times draining
With too much I want to protect you from
So don’t ever tell me to stop complaining

My shattered mind is getting lonely "

Hunter, you psyche me up so much. Thank you, dearest, for the reading and commenting. And I don’t know how to be anything but strong😉

I always feel this way your poem reads about. People often don't learn to listen to others that's why it's such a struggle. Strong poem. I like how you talk about bottled up emotion in it.

Any time You are not feeling the poetic spill
You are welcome to complain, bitch or rant to a fellow Arizonian
(if You'd like, PM me and i will provide email or other name for another way to chat)
Often, when we are younger and don't have many experiences to fall back on for solace
and or advice, bitching is a way towards Healing.
Despite the feel and feelings,
love the flow to this spill, Beautiful Sister

It’s just that I never complain about my chronic pain is what it is and. Somedays you just get mad at your body, and your life and people don’t want negative. So they’ll have to pretend you’re great when you’re anything but, for their own peace. Thank you, though, Tallen. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

I totally understand what You say.
My feet kill me during the super cold winters
and during super hot and humid days.
I always feel that complaining does nothing and so,
i don't.
However, if You believe it helps then Bitch away -- i don't mind.

Brava, Liv! I so identify with this passage:
"I just plaster a smile on my face
But inside I’m really losing my shit "
You're a real talent Liv
Diane!

Don't worry love, if you were an MP in the House of Commons, you would be heard, trust me, because the speaker of the Houses of Parliament would say, "Order, order! It's no use shouting the lady down.
I want to hear what the right honorable lady has to say, even if you don't! The lady will be heard..."
"LivDiane..."
;-)

Haha, you’re a mess. Yeah, I know. Sometimes family can be a pain though. Thanks for reading and commenting, Snaggy :P
Re: Re. “Stop Complaining”
Lol, I thought it was your boyfriend complaining, oops. I guess it could be read that way.
Oh yeah, it's much worse having the family on your case, much worse, cos you can't as easily tell them to shut up as you could your boo. Laugh out loud!
