5 Stages of Life, Love & Death

 Denial This isn’t happening to me…I opened my eyes but chose not to see…Daily forced to face myself again…What to do when strength loses and weakness wins… Anger  Why is this happening to me…?I followed the written and unwritten plan…Never give too much of myself or idolize more than one man…Cruelties misplaced mislead and misunderstood…I don’t deserve this! Sympathize... I did what I could… Bargaining I promise I’ll be a better person if ever given the chance…Throw me a rope jus reach for my hand…I never wake up expecting to fail…I don’t hold my breath expecting never to exhale…I will no sooner trade my heart or soul for this material world…Give me back my life… sacrifice my inner child… You can have the scared little girl… Depression I don’t care anymore…I’ve given all of myself… give me something else to l(i/o)ve for…I changed a million times… What’s really left of me…?I am no longer my name jus who you wanted me to be…Recreation half of a half breed…Been cut deep too many times to still be expected to bleed…  Acceptance  I’m ready to face the world when the world can face me…Invisibility in the dark ages… Only He has the key…Opened the door to life…The shadows disappeared and there was only light…Opened the door to death…Been through it all still alive but what’s left…?Opened the door to love…Saw the world through His eyes && discovered all of the above…
