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
