You feel alone
Don't you?
Staring up at the sky
As if it holds all the answers.
You're wondering why,
Aren't you?
Why it hurts so bad,
And why you're still stuck.
Still here.
Still hurting.
You're silently pleading,
Aren't you?
Pleading for it to stop.
For it all to go away.
The thoughts,
The pain,
The memories.
Why won't they go away?
And you're trying not to cry,
Aren't you?
It doesn't matter
that you're alone:
Weakness is still weakness.
And besides,
You're afraid that if you break,
You'll break completely.
So you hold it in,
Don't you?
Until it's enough
to break you.
From the inside out,
It breaks you.
But you're breathing now,
Aren't you?
Counting from 1 to 10.
Deep, or shallow,
You're still breathing.
You're still breathing,
Aren't you?
You're remembering,
Aren't you?
The fact that you're loved?
Beyond the memories-
Beyond the words-
You're remembering that You're
Oh-so loved?
It still hurts right now,
Doesn't it?
But you're fighting now,
Beyond the pain,
You're grasping
At reasons to stay safe,
Aren't you?
You know somehow,
You'll survive the night now,
Don't you?
Somehow,
You'll find a way.

From The Pen To The Soul
PoesíaSometimes, writing isn't an option; it's a necessity. This is my story. Everything I write, is a part of me. But it's up to you, to find your story; connect to yourself through my writing. (Most of these are sent to my big sister)
