Life after death
Death may mark the end of eras, ages, and life stages, but it also marks the beginning of new journeys and the rediscovery of what may have been lost along the way

Still pondering this existence
and swirling
in the uncertainties
of my next step forward.

Never to be truly accepted
seems to be
the theme of my life
no matter where I am
or who I am surrounded by.

Family,
I suppose,
is the one truth.
The one constant
slowly
ebbing
away.

There are
so
few
left

I hold my memories
close to my heart.

The two I held
dearest
are just faint lights
in my mind
now.

My heart is heavy
with sorrow.
I am unsure
how it heals.
Perhaps it never does.

The scars and pain
make it harder,
but also more resistant
to the onslaught
of neverending arrows.

Poison-tipped,
fiery arrows that
shock you
like lightning bolts
out of a thunderous rage
being shouted out at you
by the thoughts of others.

Will it ever end?

That rage
seems to be
directed towards me,
but
is it all just
in my head?

I am not sure anymore
what is real and
what I just imagine
in my head.

Not sure that
imagination
is necessarily
a detriment,
but

I don't know
how many others
can understand
the depths of my mind
and not judge it

To be
just
another
crazy person.
A misguided woman.

I know who I am,
but I have tried
to present an image
more acceptable
- to the world
- to society
- to the people I am surrounded by.

I think,
I know
I can just be myself,
but it takes
great strength
in the face of others
who would love
to bring me down
and crush me

just
so
they
can
feel
better.

Just because
they don't know
how
to just
be.

Be one
with the world.
Be one
with others.

Allow the feelings to swirl around,
take over for awhile.
Just to remove yourself
from your own torturous mind.

Be at peace.
Like a diamond
washing away to the sea depths.

Waiting to be cleansed
by the salt
and rough water.
Only
to be thrown aside
by the waves

A light has gone out and now,
I am left in the darkness.
Floundering around without a guide.

I am alone in this place
With no emotions
And no thoughts.
Completely empty.

You cannot guide me out of this abyss, But I must find myself
And pull my own spirit out.
It is still there -
Just a tiny spark to find.

Just one last minute bit
Of hope
That will shine brightly again.

Keep your faith close at hand
As it will fill you up once again,
In time.

Life seems so pointless at times and other times it seems full of possibilities. Which way will I wake up and feel tomorrow? Will I feel like there is a never ending abyss waiting to take me down or will I feel like I can take on new challenges? Will I feel full of hope of full of sadness? I'm not sure when this uncertainty will end, but hopefully I can shake the darkness off and move forward with confidence.

How long did I live feeling like I had to make things work with what I had instead of living for what I truly wanted? How long did I deny myself feelings and deny myself the things I truly enjoyed and wanted in life? I don't want to be what someone else wants me to be any longer. I just want to be the me I am meant to be. The one who loves getting lost in stories, video games, and fantasy worlds. Who loves art and creativity. Who sees colour and life in music. Who feels the music in their veins. The one who wants to feel free to be herself and not worry about what anyone else thinks about who she is or how she presents herself.

I want to be full of childlike wonder and amazement for the world around me. Sit and stare at the sky and the clouds and see the shapes and patterns and figures that take me away with them. I want to get lost in the moment and forget everything else that is happening around me. I want to feel deeply - truly feel the world around me. Feel the vibrations in the air. Feel the dream-like state that I crave is okay to get lost in when I am alone or surrounded by people. Know that the spirit in my is real. Know that the spirit is alive and real.
