A mediocre poem about moving on that might make you feel something followed by a sad poem

Acceptance and then circling back

MOVING ON

I’m at a crossroads

Nothing left to do

But survive

I can’t stay where I am

I can’t go back

But I can implode

Drop expectations

Give up all hope

To make way for something different

Something not soul sucking

Gut wrenching

But steady

Or at least something that doesn’t haunt me

Three of me - past present future

Where ever I go I carry all three

But I have to choose to make something out of this

Taking a few steps forward

and my others falling flat below me

I might carry them with me always

But they’re on the bottom of my feet

CIRCLING BACK

I’ve mourned you more

Than I’ve loved you

But love and sadness

Feel just as deep

That’s why the best love songs

Make you cry

I don’t know how to move around the grief anymore

I don’t know how to yearn without it

Hi, I hope you feel something from my poetry.

I write primarily for the gracious generation born to lost caregivers

May you one day be inundated with the flowers you always deserved

I also dabble in the genres of the random and corny :)
