Poof, she was almost gone .
Ticking time bomb, met her own
Poof.
I know I’m missed but I can’t feel it

Sometimes I question
but most times I combat this disillusionment.
Do you love me?
I’ll never stop asking why
but accept it all the same.

I’m grateful I’m home,
becoming whole, again.

Someday I’ll heal and I’ll
feel all of this is real, even while fearing I’ve missed it all.
Better yet,
I’ll choose to see it, now.
Feeling it, will come.

Living in fear steals more than you can ever know.
Hold your head up
and believe what people show you.
We’re here for only a bit.
Fight like hell and don’t go out
without kicking and loving
with all of your fiber and being.

    Living in fear is so difficult and fighting and never giving up, just so, as you say it

    Beautiful poem, especially the last section. Living in fear (or stress) can narrow our focus and have such a negative impact on our health. Well said about how life is short and we should make the most of it!
