For The Better

I don't know what to think anymore, I am so confused and nervous and excited. Thank you, Megan, by the way.

My head hurts and my body aches,
I have nothing left, nothing at all,
But still someone manages to put a smile on my face.
It’s amazing how everything comes back,
All the moments I forgot,
The simple little things I never thought I would.

Things have been tough, things have been so rough,
I lose sight almost every day of what matters,
Can’t even count the times I’ve thought of the cabinet downstairs,
Or realized how little people actually care.
I feel so sore, yet memories make me stronger,
Filling me with hope I once had.

Inside jokes and little moments,
The weeks we spent laughing, sure we would never stop.
All these things have melted away from me,
Leaving a deeper sadness than before,
But it’s alright, because I think things might actually be okay.

Author's Note

My brain is literally going haywire with the events of the past week. I don't know what to think anymore.

This is a very strong emotional piece of work. Well done and yes things always get better. The great thing about being human is we can endure things unimaginable and grow stronger from them.
