Cheated

I feel cheated
angry
overwhelmingly sad
because my beautiful son
chose to die
and left me heartbroken
confused
and sad for the world
because it lost
a beautiful soul

Thank you, Line. It helps a lot to express my thoughts and emotions when I can. Sometimes there are no words, and in those times, the pain feels bigger.

Poetry helps to show us where we are and later where we’ve been. You will continue to articulate your thoughts. We are here for you. Every soulon earth matters.

I hear you, Kathleen, and I feel the same way for you, my friend. Don't let his passing take you from us too. Hang in there. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Bill

Thank You, Bill. I am grateful that I can put my emotions into words. I am ok. Very sad at times, but I have God and a great support system. I wish my son had realized that as well.
