Poetry and Musings

Writing, getting the words out, is a wonderful release.

Time

One day you wake up

You have trouble recalling the last time your own sobbing woke you

You realize the amount of time that has passed

It doesn't feel like time should feel; as if there is a distance between the before and now

It's as if before is still yesterday

The pictures in your mind as vivid as that night, the pain less intense

You have learned to breath again

Your head a little higher, shoulders a little lighter

The guilt of being strong and brave to face each day less haunting

And the unimagined future less daunting
