Life Goes On!!!

Deepassionate1 Speaks

There are days like today when I am hit by my emotions and I enter into a dark space, momentarily before the light finds me and guides me back home. On today's journey home, I was reminded that life goes on whether or not I choose to participate fully in it. I was also reminded that I can't change the heart of a man or woman for that matter, I can't even change some of the circumstances that come my way, but one thing I can change is how I choose to respond to my situations and the people who enter into my space on a daily basis. As one of my poem states, "Crying is overrated and it leaves my eyes puffy." So the next time I'm greeted by the darkness, I am going to shine my own light on it and remind myself that I have a choice and I choose to be BETTER OVER BITTER!!

Crying has become overrated
It makes my eyes puffy
And my heart weak
Listen to me speak
About times of hunger
And stories about my yesterday
When will my tomorrow get better?
When will this pain melt away?
Restrictions in my lungs
“I can't breathe”
So I scream
I fight
I write with this pen
And hope that someone will read these words
And let go with me
Finding freedom together
Just breathe
Relax  
Bathe me in oil
Anoint me anew
Make me strong
Make me bold
Make me ready
Make me free
Free from the pain.

Dear World,
 I choose to be
BETTER
OVER
​BITTER!!!
