The Beginning of it All

{things i have lost, a free verse poem}

I have lost things that will never come back.
I have lost pets and friends,
and these things I lack;
joy is lost, love is gone, and
energy has vanished.

I have lost things and no one will understand why.
I have lost family and faith
and they will never come back.

Through all my heartbreak and sadness,
one thing has been lost
and it will not be missed.

For it was not loved,
unwanted,
and hated.

Could it be love, joy or energy?
no, for they have been found again.

Pets, friends and family, then?
they remain lost, but they were loved.

Then what, oh what, is it that you will not miss?
it is myself,

For myself I have hated.

I have been unwanted.

I have been unloved.

But that was my old self.

And it will remain lost.

Hey, Wattpaders!

I just recently joined a writing group and this is what I wrote during my first session. It was a lot of fun to do, but it was kinda nerve racking when I had to share what I wrote. I'm not used to sharing my work with people, let alone something like this. I usually don't share a lot about myself with my friends, and I can guarantee no one knows the real me.

But enough with the sad stuff. How are you guys doing? What do you plan to do for New Year's Eve? Tell me in the comments!

Comment, vote, follow!

May your writing, or reading, be as marvellous as you are!
