Life
I was
happy.
I was
free of worries.
I loved
life.
Then it
happened.
That day,
the truth came out.
People
were hurt and crying.
I was
crying too.
But then
I got over it.
I moved
on.
Life went
on.
The pain
still stung every once in a while.
Like a
wound from a Mordor blade,
the wound
would never truly heal.
I
believed I was okay.
I went
about my life again,
acting
like nothing happened.
A new
light came into our world,
so soon
after one had gone.
We
rejoiced.
We were
happy.
Life didn’t
like that.
Then the
sickness came,
and with
it more sorrow.
I lost my
grandma that day.
My mommy
lost her mommy.
Our
family changed.
I moved
on,
following
my path to adulthood.
I tried
so hard to hold onto what I once pushed away.
I had to
let go.
I did.
I was
okay.
I spent
my time toiling away,
hoping I
wouldn’t regret it.
I do,
and I don’t.
Life was
happening.
I was
okay with that.
Then that
day came.
Then more
tears came.
Then our
lives changed again.
I feel as
though I lost something.
Something
I didn’t even know I had.
I lost a
friend.
I lost
some hope.
The pain
from that wound so long ago,
reopened with
a new vengeance.
I felt
empty.
Then life
changed again.
I moved
into my new life,
feeling unprepared
and worried.
I
managed.
I scraped
through that time,
all the
while looking toward the end.
I made
it.
I was so
happy.
Then I toiled
and worked some more.
I gave up
my relaxation.
I gave up
my rest.
Then, I came
back.
But
something was different.
I felt
more empty.
I feel
more empty.
I look
back at what once used to be.
I look
back at what I hated.
I know I’m
a fool.
I miss
those times.
I miss my
life before that first stab.
The first
cut from that long gone friend,
Tearing
my heart,
breaking
my soul.
It was so
needless.
It was so
painful.
Life was
more simple.
Life goes
on.
