The Four Stages Of Grieving


Depression..

Can kill people on the inside

Can destroy people from inside to out

People cry, they divide their skin in two

I wonder who..

Aggression..

Causes anger

Causes  hurt

Can put many in danger

People pause on the fact that anger can go so far

Obsession..

Call it disappointing

Call it normal

People don’t point out that you don’t have a hard time joining

Many hide it behind the fact that they dress formal

Confession..

Hard time making it

Hard time thinking it’s pointed toward faith

Say that sometimes faking it is okay

Still more important to lie

Many actually say they would rather die than confess to a crime
