"The world without me"

“The World….Without Me!”



I am breathless as I oversee the many faces communicating continuously.

They’re ignoring my existence as if the world didn’t revolve around me.

Dare I intervene? Perhaps stop all the rumors, gossip, all this trashy talk?

They’re attempting to tell my story without consulting me, but none can predict where my soul will eternally walk.

Maybe I should have told someone of all my worries, maybe reached out for a helping hand.

Maybe I should have professed my concerns to a higher being, maybe he would have understand.

Trying to justify my actions is probably way too late.

No one will ever listen to me again, maybe I’ll tell them at a much later date!

I am surprised that people are going on with their lives with and without remorse for me.

I didn’t know soo many people were genuinely concerned about my well being with all sincerity.

I used to think I was all-alone and that my problems were too big to face.

I now know I was here for a reason; my life was never just another occupying space!

No one knows all the answers to my story and, I am in no position to explain.

It’s sad to think that there are countless others in my previous” frame of thought”, thinking they’re insane.

The complexity of the mind is a mystery to most, that don’t even give it a second thought.

I don’t know that anyone will ever identify with all the wars I have internally fought!

I have accomplished many things in my short visit to this revolving earth.

I have compassion for my family and friends…for all that is now worth!

I expected the world to stop revolving at the thought of my departure soo abruptly.

I never thought that I would be able to observe the conclusion that is now my reality!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was such a sad time, it was after my brother attempted to get the help he desperately, he attempted many times to take his life because of depression. One very dramatic event left me and my mother completely devastated when we thought he had been successful in a suicide attempt. God's blessings spared his life!
