eighteen years.
i've lived my life,
and then some.
i've done things others never will
and avoided others' everyday habits
so this is what i've come to.
my life has started
and my past is dying
my future hits me
headstrong
and now,
i'm faced with a reality
i never knew existed
there are things i'll miss
and things i'll wish i had missed
but now i look back
and realize that without my life
i'd be dead
so i'll stay grateful for my passions
and my discomforts
because they are what made
me
these faces i've known
won't be there when i awake
so should i fall asleep
while remembering these images
in all my dreams
or should i suffer through
insomnia
in hopes not to forget
a single moment
the night has fallen on my life
a new dawn will rise in the morning
have i grown up?
maybe
am i ready?
i hope so
but do i want to be where i am right now?
i'll never know if this was enough
to show my love for what i had
and now
i remember the images
of my life
and i am forced to open
a new scrapbook of my life
it's a shame i hated what i had
and now i wish i didnt have to lose it
i've never known what to expect
everyday: a new disappointment
but not until i realize it
the tears i shed only taught me
and the pain i suffered only showed me
how to be what i have become
ashamed of my past i used to be
but if i didnt have the life i lived
would my name still be the same?
i dont want to leave my comfort
to try and build a new one
i'll wake up tomorrow
staring an absence of being
right in the face
in the morning
i'll have to start all over
my eyes begin to water
at the thoughts of this reality
but am i going to follow your example
and live in grief over what i cant bring back?
i cant
because its not in my past
to cry about it now
i'll cry about it tomorrow
but it's already tomorrow
yesterday passed me by
and now
i'm left alone with just a memory

Ah, chickie, the reality of life is now upon you and you see that life prior was not so bad after all. We all grieve our childhood for a while, but every angst you went through made you the strong person you are today that will be able to jump the hurdles placed in your path to make you even stronger. I am so proud of you. I always knew you would do it. There was just a determination there I could see. Wishing you a life you can handle and friends that will walk with you and stay by your side. Eye life warily, but never be afraid. There is so much beauty out there if you just take the time to find it.
Smiles,
Rita |

self realization, harsh and eye opening, yet life goes on change is inevitable.
This piece is so very reflective of all our lives to some extent or another.
I like this, it's bitttersweet. but a new begining. |
