Recovery

I attempted to write a never ending poem

there's beauty in pain

the oasis in the back of your mind

that only you know

there's strength in loneliness

to be able to stand alone

when your legs

want to cave in

there's hope for people who are broken

something once solid

shattered

only to be rebuilt again

there's recovery in relapse

when you see no beauty,

feel no strength,

have no hope

remember

(re-read poem from top)

Author's Note

this is something really different compared to what i usually write

Interesting poem, some persons believe in that, I rather believe in glory. In the real world every person person has a sad story to share that only spirits from the other world are interested in hearing, because misery loves company before they are taken to hell.

the message i was trying to convey was that even when you're in pain and weak, there is still hope for you, that no matter how many times you relapse, you can still recover. i do no believe in glorifying sadness, i believe that everyone deserves to be happy and love themselves.

I really hope dead spirits from the other world see that your message is for the living so they do not get their hopes high by trying to come back to the living world.
