Empty Shadow - December 12th 2011, 04:20 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of death or grieving, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

Empty Shadow
You leave me here
Unprotected and hurt
With nothing but an
Empty shadow
that once was me
I try to regain my human
Form
But something always smacks me back down
To nothing but a boring
Heartless shadow
As each pain comes my
Way. My shadow fades
Ripping my heart out
Each time.
My heart is full of scars
And wounds that won't
Heal
Rays of hope flash
But never long enough
To grab and take in
Leaving me with all
This pain that will
Never go away....

This poem is about the pain of grief. I thought it would be better to post it here. I think it is weird about grief how you could have a good day and have some word be said and it pull you back down to an ok day. Last Friday (December 9th) was the day my dad died a few years ago. I miss him a lot but I am healing.

I like the poem, and it has some valid points.

Im sorry to hear about your dad - I hope that you can overcome the grief and sadness.

Best wishes,
Chris

Great poem December 9th is also the anniversary of one of my parent's death. If you need anything or want to talk about how december 9th should no longer exist on the calendar (lol?), PM me anytime.
