Time To Heal Poem by Kim Aouad

Sometimes what I really need is some space, some time alone, away from everyone and everything..Is that too much to ask? I'm tired of always being there for everyone I need some time for myself, by myself..I can't take all the pressure put upon me by others anymore..All I want is some time off just to get my mind off of certain things..Why isn't anyone understanding that I'm a human too? That I can't always keep my mouth shut and my feelings burried? That eventhough I have the urge to cry, I can't because it will hurt a few? That I'm trying to stay strong but I'm actually breaking down inside? That no matter the situation I have to always be there for the ones who need me, and that it's tougher than boulders? I can't take it anymore..I think that I'm still in denial, and that I still can't quite grasp what I'm supposed to do..I don't need company to figure things out..It may be wrong, but I'd rather be alone than between people who are probably more confused at the time than I am, even if they claim to be needing me next to them..But not everything is always about everyone else..I need some time alone..And until you understand that, there is nothing you can possibly say or do that can make me change my mind, because you think you know what's better for me when imposing the 'forever together and never apart' thing to me, but not everything lasts forever..And sometimes we have to be alone to understand the importance of togetherness..All I need is time alone..
