PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Days gone by,

And,

Today,

I am going to be happy with myself,

Why is she saying this,

Because,

A few weeks ago,

I broke down,

I mean really broke down,

Cry,

Sad,

It was bad,

I have never felt that way before,

Mom she is amazing,

I mean amazing,

This passed year has been so hard,

And it all just came back at once,

Dad passing away,

It was drugs that took him away,

Wow that is the first time I put that down somewhere,

I never really cried,

I needed to be strong for the family,

I remember this like it was yesterday,

I kissed my hand,

And touched it to his forehead,

And said I love you dad,

I miss him,

I want to see him one more time,

I have been so sick too,

This passed year,

So many meds,

I wonder what they are doing to my body?

But I need them,

To feel ok,

Proving myself to no one,

If I do that I am going to be unhappy,

I like who I am,

And I am still learning who I am,

If you don’t like who I am,

Then go away,

Just go.
