I Am Still Standing

Awaking to silence

By Bobbie JoPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

To let go isn’t easy to do,💩

Remembering the goals we made,💕

Taking on the world, as a nation of one, ❤️

It makes the loniness surreal, 👠

Dreams lost yet the memories linger, as 💍

I take a step into my new life❤️.

I am alone to learn that survival is

possible on my own.❤️

It’s better that way, I suppose, as I try to convince my heart💕

It sucks as I

try to find my worth that I

misplaced

long ago.👣

Forgotten somewhere as I placed you

on a pedestal⭐️

I am left with a broken heart,

you didn’t look back,

as the tears ran down my cheeks😢

Today those tears have turned

to strength as the sun shown

brightly on my face☀️

It’s not going to do me any good

to sit and waste away

from the pain as you left me that

day🎀

It’s up to me to be brave,

as I step into the day.

That special life,

shared with you

was a gift you gave to me,💥

Feeling love

was a joy, it helped me see how

grateful I should have been,💕

Remembering who I am,

When I wake up each day,

Being able to take a breath and say,

“Today is another day I get to be alive seeing the sun rise again.”🌸

My worth, I will find somewhere,

Just at this time, it’s nowhere in sight🦋

It didn’t go anywhere, really,

It hid behind my tears or so I thought. 🌤

Feeling sorry for my self,

Was the excuse I used.

Accepting it for what it is

Is all I have to do,

moving on from there. 🎗

Have I learned anything from this ordeal? 📚

I don’t know as of yet,

I did realize who I am,

Being thankful for the chance to

experience loving you🌹

Forever loved yet not missed anymore.
