Micheala Ruth September Poet Free verse

Closure

What we seek
In the unpleasantness 
We find in situations,
Times or experiences.
In the hopes of closure
In unfair treatment,
Disrespected and hurt
To an extent undeserved.
We seek a sense of 
Peace and understanding
In releasing it all
Before putting things to an end.
We seek one final goodbye, 
Hoping to hear another side
Or reasoning for their actions.
So we may reach closure.
Sometimes, we don’t get that.
We have to move on, 
Accepting that closure 
Between some 
Will never be reached.
We can only put it behind us
And move on from the pain.
For closure is not about others
But finding it withing ourselves.
When seeking this closure, 
It is determined by us 
Whether it is reached or not.
Nobody else. 

Closure
Is only done
In ourselves
With ourselves
For ourselves.
