Too Much To Ask For Poem by Lana May Hamlin

I don’t think I can hold on any longer
The memories making me anything but stronger
They leave a physical strain
Their scars will forever remain
But they’re hidden for the winter until May
But that’s another battle I’ll put off for another day
So I’ll sit in bed rethinking my life
Wishing I had the courage to finally use a knife
To cut out the heard that lays shattered, broken
My life hurting and feeling so forsaken
But for now I’ll simply stare out at the night sky
Pressing myself with one question, why?
They told me lies to calm my tears
The pain swelled up over the years
When I find love, it’s swept from under my feet
It’s just another heartbreaking defeat
My world had just turned right
Until the fire stole it all on that horrible night
I died when I had to move away
When my friends is where I wanted to stay
I guess happiness is too much to ask for
So I’ll start living this life without feeling anymore
