Is it happening?

Is it really happening

I took a picture

So I will come to

Terms with it

Unreasonable

Hard to

Communicate

Life cannot always be

Blooming flowers

Withering Flowers , too

Crying might help

But no tears

Sleeping might help

I cannot fall asleep

So I write

To comfort

My weary mind

My Overthinking mind

Why can I not cry

It’s out of my control

I don’t want to control it

I just want to comfort it

Why do some people try to used

A situation for their glory

And power

Is it about the money?

Is it, really?

Do you feel empowered

For what reason you

Try to hurt another without a care?

heartbreak

    This piece was full of raw emotions and it really pulled at my heart strings. I am sorry for what you are going through! 💜 Writing is therapy for a lot of us and I hope this piece will help you get where you need to be, Mariann! 💜
