Grief is like feeling lost
Walking down a street you have walked before
But everything is different
And you don't want to keep going forward anymore
You want to return
Go back
Start over
But their is no other choice so
you continue forward
You continue forward
Marching to the beat of a heartbeat drum
A faint echo, a silent hum
you keep marching but your feet wont touch the floor
A beaming light says "exit here"
A sigh of relief, a glimmer
A future more clear
But as soon as you open that door
You are back where you started
Lost, confused, and so unsure
The days get longer
The uncertainty drowns the light
Your feet are heavy
You want to take flight
But the arrows say "keep going"
And you trust and have faith that it might
People join you on your journey
Carry some of the weight
Their time runs out, they leave
It's dark and getting too late
Again in the dark
Alone
Exhausted from the neverending walk
Questioning your worth
Questioning your life
Questioning all the what ifs and whys
Can you turn the volume down?
Can you tell my heart to no longer pound?
I have lost myself and I want to find me again
But my confidence is melting
and when I speak there is no sound
Can I make it through?
There is no other option but to
