Oblivion

Oblivion:

1: The state of  being completely forgotten or unknown

Are you going to age with grace?

Are you going to age without mistakes?

Or only to wake and hide your face?

She said we are heading into the 5th year since the car crash.

The 5th year apparently means I should be just fine and dandy.

but I'm not...and apparently that's ridiculous.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

No one can understand unless they're in my shoes.

I know things could be worse...and I know I'm very lucky with what was saved.

but just because I know those things, doesn't mean it's not hard to re adjust.

To cope with a loss of vision.

Floaters.

Flashes of yellow.

A cats eye.

A smaller pupil size.

An artificial eye lens.

Knowing that I'm most likely going to need more eye surgery in the future.

It's been 5 years.

There IS NO expiration date for getting over something traumatic.

For getting over a loss.

My best friend died from terminal cancer 3 years ago, and apparently I should be over that too.

I am so ready for the day when I am accepted.

Accepted for my size.

For the time I'm taking to heal.

For the day when it's okay to like who I like.

To dream what I want to dream.

More than anything I'm ready for the day I'm over the trauma and death.

but that takes time.

and that's okay.

If only more people realized that.

When I was on that hospital bed, bleeding, bruised, and broken mentally and physically...I briefly went into the state of oblivion.

To this day, even though people think oblivion is negative, I thought it was one of the most beautiful states to be in.

I  got to be lost not knowing anything for a few minutes.

To wake up and wondering where I was and what was happening..

Those were the last minutes of glory.

The last minutes before the roughest chapter of my life began.

The moments before remembering.

You left a lot for the reader to think about.
"The last minutes before the roughest chapter of my life began.
The moments before remembering. "
The question of the legacy we shall leave. I believe life is the decisions we make. We will land where we support to and can't stop become old. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Obilivion is when a raindrop hit the ocean when a soul enter the Brahman When individuality dissolve into collectiveness

Life is experience
Life is joy and pain
life is individuality
life is the ''being''

Oblivion is the state of Non -being, no more joy or pain
Ego dissolve into infinity

"Are you going to age without mistakes?" - if I asked you to find a soul that has not made any mistakes.To find someone who is perfect. You could search this giant blue world and still return emoty-handed. Everybody commits mistakes. We are only human.

"No one can understand unless they're in my shoes." - right. Some paths are only for you. . You will have to walk, alone. It is very easy for people to ask others to forget, to let go. But on reality it is very difficult to do that. ..

The problem with oblivion ma'am is that it's not permanent. Reality will come back to haunt us all. We can't stay oblivious forever. In the end everything (both good and evil) will have to end. The right person will come around.. Time will heal certain wounds..
