Written for myself after a friend’s break up
As it happened I didn’t know what to say
As it happened I didn’t want it to end
As it happened I don’t want to hurt any more
As it happened I didn’t see it coming
Writing an ending that I thought would enjoy
Writing a story to categorize my thoughts
Writing a lot of poetry coming like a flood
Didn’t know our experiences intersected so many times; looks like a spider’s web
As it turned out it may be good for me to take a breather
This stuff is heavy and is really hard to carry
Easing my burden, by putting my thoughts to paper
Trying to remember not to project, but also wanting to draw pictures using words
As life happens sometimes we let it pass us by
As life gets chaotic, it hurts to slow down and breathe
As life decisions are made, am I moving my life forward
As life hands me things I never dreamed of ; I continue to dream of better days
