week one

The world starts.
It continues on and on.
But I am lost, in the midst of the chaos.
I am being shoved into corners, put between rocks and hard places,
The happiness. The sadness. The numb.
I am numb. I am lost. I am confused.
Who am I? What am I doing here?
Should I even bother?

week two

I shouldn’t be happy.
It’s too soon, too sudden.
My life should be in pieces.
But, I am watching those people
Laughing, smiling, taking pictures.
I am truly happy yet again.
They have made me happy, yet I should be sad.
I shouldn’t be happy,
Yet I’m happier than I’ve been
In a long while.
Thank you.
