Never mind, the words that cut you, or the blood that trickles from skin.
Never mind, being left all alone, abandoned by chosen kin.
Never mind, the isolation, or the loud lonely nights.
Never mind, the words that leave you unarmed in every fight.
Never mind, your clever mind, left unused a while.
Never mind, that no one sees the pain behind your smile.
Never mind, that all you ever needed is nowhere to be found.
Never mind, that all you ever wanted is headed underground.
Never mind, the path you chose has led you to dead end.
Never mind, your lingering hope, you may yet find a friend.
Never mind, you’re all alone, you feel this is forever.
Never mind, you’ve gone numb, all your hope now severed.
Never mind, it’s over now, time to start anew.
Never mind, this pain is past, not part of this new you.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
