A poem about trust, friendship, overcoming challenges and hope.

I fall, I fret, I stumble back up

I turn, I run, I trip on a nub

The drops of tears race down to my chin

I wipe them, distracted, a branch hits my shin

Again I fall, my face hits the ground

A feeling of dread, it feels so profound.

No escape just regret, why did I lean towards this doom?

I’m dragged through the woods, by the doors, to his room

Rip, tear, shred, nowhere close to the end

This is my destiny I must comprehend

Nothing’s ever what it seems

It’s all just a scheme.

Kind people, hah, I laugh as I grieve

How could I be so stupid, so dumb, and so naive?

To wriggle into one’s life and destroy all they possess

Is the sole purpose behind smiles, friends, and caress.

This monstrosity of a feeling that cuts so deep in my soul

it never seems to end at all, it just won't let go

 

5-10-15 years pass by

The black hole is still there

I still remember his white tie

A console, an ally, perhaps just a friend?

But trust is not easy; let this not be a bitter end

She speaks familiar words, memories, and sorrows

Should I trust? Should I run? Leave this all for tomorrow?

I listen, I learn, I begin to unwind

Finally, I start to again, trust mankind

This terror, this fright that was once held so near

I learn to let go, to be brave and not fear

This was not my destiny nor was it once yours,

Be sure to let go, and explore the outdoors

Get help, get through it, do not sit there and wait

For it was just a circumstance that will lead to your true fate

Please listen, help someone else, and don’t be detained

You’re stronger, you’re better; you've got so much to gain
