They Tell Me Poem by Brie Carter

They Tell Me



People tell me I should care
About whether I live or die
They make feel bad inside
They make me want to cry

They tell me I should love life
Like I would love someone
But I don't know if I can do it
My life has become undone

They tell me life is sacred
Just like a precious jewel
But when it comes to winning life's battles
I only win the duels

They tell me to enjoy life
As if it were my last
But once again I can't do it
I can't forget the past

They tell me to love everything
And count my blessing everyday
But I don't know if I can do it
My colorful life has turned to grey

They tell me love everything
They tell me to share
They tell me to love life
But I don't really care.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Trust me when I say things will get better. Most of us have felt exactly the same at some time in our lives. I felt the same for many years. Then I had my kids and I promise you, when you get to experince that feeling you will wonder why you ever felt this way. The poem is heartbreaking and I know the reader felt a sense of pain and sadness. Well done, I'm sure that was the point.
