HEAL

When you can't keep going.. But you simply have to..

It hurts.
More than I imagined,
it hurts..

Every single moment I'm on the verge of tears
My throat closes up, my chest hurts,
And endless tears threaten to spill over

When you thought life is perfect,
But then it all comes crashing down
Shattering to a million pieces
As you watch helplessly..

And then comes the hardest part.
Trying to move on and forget it ever happened,
Or at least pretend.
Oh but no. Life has other plans.

You have to once again face all those buried feelings.
Keep facing them until it becomes normal.
Then that question comes up..
Will I ever heal?

Author's Note

It just came to me..
It's not fancy or anything amazing. It's just direct words from a hurting heart..

You're right, this isn't anything fancy or amazing, but instead you've captured the ordinary intensity of living life this way (broken). Sometimes a story speaks for itself, which this one does, so nothing fancy or amazing is necessary to tell this. I like the basic plain language of honesty & hope & disappointment that speaks to the hearts of many who've been broken.

I definitely can relate to this. I've been there so many times it's to count them. You suffer in life but so that you may become stronger. Someday we will reach a point where we'll heal for once and for all.

Totally get this - Been there, done it.
When you;re in this place, it seems that nothing anyboady says or anything that you do will get you away from what has just crash landed around you.
You have picked you're words well in this piece, in particular the life has other plans bit. Life does have other plans indeed, it makes you suffer to make you stronger - and it works. It works because we all heal and it gives our character a better definition, and what defines us makes us stronger.

Great piece.

Mark.

I feel you so very much on this. As your note says "It's not fancy or anything amazing" I think it is. Nothing can be more beautifully written than the words said directly from the heart.

Thank you so much.. I'm satisfied now. :)

It is good to read,and I agree with it...specially with the hardest part "move on" this isn't something that anyone can do whenever they want..well I hope u are alright now..

Powerful writing that is visceral and soul bearing, this piece hits home. The third stanza struck a chord with me and I can completely relate my not so distant past to it. Sometimes just when you think you've let the wounds heal, they can be reopened by the smallest of things. Thank you for sharing, I'm glad I came across this.

Thank you very much! Your words mean a lot to me.. It really does.

[Jack Necron (Aubrey Jack Peaslee)]

[Red Rose]

[Luna]

you are very welcome :)

[Vikrantsingh]

Well well well, its again good. Could have been better!

How - so here is the solution, when you express your feelings and its all about agony, pain. Add up some good time you spend. When you compare your good times with your current painful time. It shares more depth and continuity to your feelings and expression towards your work :)

Well remaining everything seems wonderful.. Start comparing..

Hope I helped a little.

Cheers!!

Thank you. I understand what you mean.. I thought of that too when I wrote it..
But what if mentioning those good times could get me in trouble?
Let's just say my life is a tad bit complicated..
Thanx again for your time. :)

[Vikrantsingh]
