I am sad
Somewhere between almost there and nowhere
I can't sleep, it takes forever
It slowly creeps upon me and finally takes me under
It wakes me up quick, startled awake by reality
I turn to God
I have no choice but hope
I remember its not always this painful, this fresh Birthdays and Mothers day are the worse so far
I am clinically sad and at the same time anchored to hope
I am bobbing along on a brutal sea of loss but I am not lost
I am like Paul, on a sinking ship I can say with certainty this storm won't kill me
Shipwrecked with messy insomnia, mental anxiety, tears and fears
Choking on the pain, floating on the sorrow
Soon the storm will pass but the wreckage remains.
Soon the Triumphant Parade will come
I will jump in again, I will pick up the broken pieces
I will shake off the pain, pick myself up and dance
I promise, I will
