I found things to be getting tough
So I remembered the times
When life was an ocean so rough
And decided to look back at what I wrote in those moments.
What I found were not the feelings I expected,
But something much deeper and much more horrid
My present feelings were not represented
But were replaced instead by some sadness.
It was a sadness pitying the past,
A sadness that appreciated the present,
Grateful that those moments didn't last
Otherwise God knows how things would've ended.
The words scream of a forgotten pain,
Bringing back memories unwanted.
All the words do is explain
Thoughts that were left unheard.
As I read, I breathe a sigh of relief
That I made it through and that I'm ok.
Though those poems bring nothing but grief,
They're a reminder of the different levels of pain.
