Notes About The Poem

Getting Over

Getting Over
There ain't no getting over
doing what you gotta do.
There ain't no getting over,
the things that you go through.

You can try when loved ones die
but tears are gonna fall.
No one learns to walk or run
until they learn to crawl.

Memories of yesterday
the horrors that you faced.
Innocence it took away
and nightmares are replaced.

Waiting for the rain to stop,
while you keep getting wetter.
It's only getting different,
it's not getting any better.

Things that were, no longer are.
And yet, they seem to be.
Changing rearranging
somewhere deep inside of me.

There ain't no getting over
the things that you go through.
There ain't no getting over.
Do what you gotta do.

Edwin C Hofert

Keith Bickerstaffe December 1, 2015 at 2:41 PM So well conceived and rendered. Excellent rhyming and cadence. Some powerful phrases too... 'no one learns to walk or run until they learn to crawl,' '...waiting for the rain to stop while you keep getting wetter.' SUPERB my friend! Best wishes, Keith Edwin Hofert December 2, 2015 at 1:28 AM Thank you Keith, from the bottom of my heart.
