Fighting

I find myself alone again,
Fighting demons that can't be seen.
You think that I am strong somehow,
So you leave me to be free.
 
Yet how can I move on, my friend,
In a world that can be so mean?
I thought you'd know me by now
Yet, you don't want me to be me.
 
I guess you didn't need me in the end,
So I'll just leave my feelings unseen.
I don't need you to save me anyhow,
I'll just try to save myself as you flee.

I am definitely not the same person anymore. I think of my past a lot and how I just went through life like there was a certainty. But, my eyes are wide open now and that in its self will change a person. The feelings of being left behind sparked this poem, I'm glad you could connect to it. I hope to read more of your poems soon. I understand getting lost in thought and that usually turns out to be the best poems.

(I feel God with me through my sorrow and do need to thank Him more often)

Thanks for your comment.

Everything you write is on such a monumental level of grief on such a deep and personal level. This poem I especially relate to though. Have you ever contemplated what you were and who you were earlier in life ? Did you notice how you may not be that person anymore ? ...then who have we become...? A perplexing question I have yet to answer or solve. Thank you for your comment on 'If I Could Rewind Time.' In response to your statements regarding start toaccepting the sorrow vs stop accepting...I originally did not put any thought into that particular line however the final line wish I state quote because there are fewer today than there are tomorrow's end quote I got lost in my mind analyzing how there are fewer today's and tomorrow's in my analysis is sensible. Thank you again and never forget to thank God no matter what
