The Journey of Grief

Black and white

That's all I see

Surroudning me, enclosing me

I can't breathe

 

My chest is caving in

I feel so dismal and guilty

Whay can't I be normal?

Why happened to the old me?

 

I'm slowly losing

All of my friends

Everyone is leaving

Because of "me"

 

Because my old self vaporized

Into thin air

After my loving father

Was taken away from me

 

I slowly pushed away

I began to shut down

I wanted to be alone, I was suffering

I didn't want anyone to find out

 

I'm so lost

It's so dark

I can't see

I'm lost in the tunnel of darkness, surrounding me

 

At the end of the darkness

I see light, colors too

How do I get there?

It seems impossible, inevitable

Someone please help me

 

I look normal

Try to see what others see

But on the inside

I'm battling, struggling to breathe

 

It's been by and by

But the colors

They are in reach

Am I finally finding...me?!

 

I feel no more pain

I can laugh, I can smile

With full intent

Not as a shield

 

I've found the new me

The old me, the improved me

I've grown tremendously

I'm finally...happy

 

No more darkness

No more fear

I know my Angel is with me

Always watching over me

Hugging me, loving me

 

After by and by of self-isolation

My arms, heart, and mind are open

Opprotunities and love, all puring in

I had forgotten about all of life's beauties

How wonderful they all can be

 

I didn't get here

On my own

I had help from those

who care the most

 

I've realized I'm lucky and blessed

To be whom I am

To have faced the hardships I've faced

It is what makes me, me

 

The hardships gave me wisdom

They gave me strength

I'm now a better person

Thanks to the darkness I have faced

 

I'm happy to live my life, to be me

I look forward to the many years ahead, to my bright future

Saving lives, tackling endeavors

Loving on my precious friends and dear family

 

I have so much worth, so much potential

Now it's time to show the world

Let's go make a difference

Let's leave a legacy
