Every Step Forward
I want a great mountain to crumble on me
and crush my tiny insignificant self.
I want a great river to wash me away
drowing me in it's swirling black water.
I want to fall off the edge of the Earth
and fall and fall and fall to my death.
The end of me.
I want the day of my life to end-
but I just want it so I can begin anew.
A sunrise of beautiful colors, awakening
the world to the change inside me.
Some great change that is indescribable-
the world with its infinite words and yet,
none can describe what is happening to me.
None can describe the way my emotions
storm about inside me, tossing and turning.
None can describe how you look at me-
that light that used to be there is gone,
leaving a dead look there...
None-though they try- can describe how it feels
to have your heart broken.
I hate when I hear "time to move on-"
though I know it IS time.
Time does not go backwards...
I refuse to forget or regret!
But I also refuse to die inside myself-
So now, from this Time forward, I move forward.
Every Step. Forward.
You must learn to crawl before walking...
I move forward.
As does a clock.
TIC TOK TIC TOK...
"time to move on" is not
"time to move on" is not something that should be often said to people when they're greiving a loss, be it due to death or a break-up. We all have our time frame for grieving and should be permitted a limitless range of time to heal.
The following lines sound like something I've read before(and recently):
"I want a great mountain to crumble on me
and crush my tiny insignificant self.
I want a great river to wash me away
drowing me in it's swirling black water.
I want to fall off the edge of the Earth
and fall and fall and fall to my death.
The end of me.
I want the day of my life to end-"
It is possible that these
It is possible that these lines sound similar to something you have read before, the idea is not new. Break up often feels like you want something really painful to happen so you dont remember the pain in your heart. however, these words are originally my own. On the other note, it is true that nobody should be told to move on, and yet it happens. Just because something SHOULD not happen, doesnt mean it DOES not happen.
