This I Believe

This is a pem I wrote last yer=ar in ceative writing. I might tweak it as I write. this poem is definitely not the same poem I had originally written. The concept is the same, the poem has just been expanded very far. I might post the original.

Taking care of a newborn baby is a learning experience

Watching her sleep peacefully

Knowing that at any minute she could wake up screaming bloody terror

Watching her exciteent grw at the sight of something

Holding her close as she sleeps

 

Watching a relative be put to ground causes a look at oneself

Opening up the gates on your deepest darkest thoughts and unleashing a tidal wave

Of thoughts never thought untl theyir casket dissapeared under the ground

Allowig them the ability to return to ground from where we came

Causing you to feel grief and remorse so deep you have to hide pils and sharp objects from yourself

Just to avoid being another statistic for another day

 

Developing the ability to ove on and living after death

Is a major feat and the hardest step t recovery

Overcoming the grief, anguish, and will to die, makes you stronger

Holding a newborn baby in your arms after a loss

Brings a second chance and redemption to myself

 

Opposites: Life and Death

Intertwined indefinitely like yin and yang

Depression settles in

But soon fades and you become renewed

The pain and ache dissipate and scatter

Leaving only ghost traces of the former emotions

 

Joy and self doubt a newborn baby brings

But coming with it is peace

The ache and pain I  feel when a relative passes shows me I am still alive

 

So this I believe

I believe we can learn from life

I believe we can take from and rise above death

I believe life is insightful, and death is inspiration like nothing else

And I believe that after the scars fade, we will gain peace from both
