the five stages of grief: acceptance
Almost a year later,
I still wish I
hadn't lost my focus.
I let the
Lens focus
on the wrong things,
In the wrong places,
And it’s all just a
mess.
An accidental shutter,
Now the picture's
faded, and
It's hard for me to
discover what life’s
meant to be
When it’s just me
Out in this vast,
dark world,
feeling lonely.
Burning out,
Just like a dying star,
Feeling temporary,
I'm barely
holding on.
Just being alive
doesn’t feel alright.
Feeling out of place
and overexposed,
Just like the
Polaroid on my chest.
Looking at the smiles,
A bittersweet moment,
A moment in which
I hope I don’t regress.
I know it’s hard to progress,
And I know I just need
to convince myself and
trust the process.
I know this won’t
last forever.
Photos capture
moments,
And I must remember
This isn't the end
of my chapter.
The world moves forward,
and moments last forever,
and hurt is only temporary.
