Recovery


A single tear

Falling from a face

All that is seen is the fear

That no one can embrace

 

Many ask why

Why so upset

Why cry

Behind the tear is all regret

 

Regret that a mental death occurred

The original person cannot come back

That is assured

That is a fact

 

All that is left to do is move on

Feel remorse 

Smile till dawn

Smile even if it is needed to apply force

 

Whatever life gives

It will be okay

Shame is not needed for a lived life

Take life day by day
