Picking up the pieces
A Poem by Maddison
Journal Entry 2015/09/11
Hurting my self and the one I love, and not in the way that I am familiar with. I
haven't written anything in nine months, not a thought, not a memory,
nothing. You would think my minds been blank, my life's been boring. You
would think, how can you can you express when you have no inspiration,
however that is not the case. The past nine months have changed my life
completely, I'm engaged to be married to the man I love, the man I've
missed with all my heart, every moment without him drew me closer to
him. In the past nine months I have had two jobs, the first was quite
exciting working for a gold mining kingpin, their was enough inspiration
for my imagination to run wild, but I still could not write a single
page. You would think that maybe I've been numb, emotionless for the
past nine months, I wish that were true, but its not. I have been
ecstatically happy, uncontrollably wasted and I have even learned how to
be happy without a high, without that kick that I have so often
required. During the past nine months so much has happened, things that I
struggled to imagine possible, from finally being with the man I love
to my father almost dying. I've experienced my utmost highs to some of
my utter most lows, from extreme happiness to wondering if I am even
alive and why? They say life is a roller-coaster, but I fear that some of
us design our own, with all the flaws that we know will hurt us and the
ones we love, but we keep riding because we don't know how to make it
stop and worst of all we don't know if we want it to.

This is what happens after not writing for nine months, so please bare with me as I am out of practice, but I think this may be a start to something bigger.
