Michelle L. Leblanc Poet Rhyme

GRIEVING YOU

"GRIEVING YOU"
(by Michelle L. LeBlanc 11/07/2022)
Dedicated to my son, Jayden Donald LeBlanc

I wish I could mourn you properly
But when I grieve you, I feel sick.
I have to block out thoughts at times 
So I can get through these thickets

Before you passed, I was working on my health
Then on top of it all, I lost you
Now its hard to stay on top of everything else

Inside I'm crying out
Having a hard time processing all this pain
Sometimes I don't feel normal
Because of the process through my brain

I cry easier now though
Not as strong as I looked before
Just thinking is a lot harder 
Since you never came back through the door

Conversations need to be simple
I can't think clearly or process many thoughts
Need to take things moment by moment
Or this mind gets tied in knots

But I must remind myself that this is a process
In order to get through each and every day
Though the pain will always be in my heart
My practices help me along the way

I won't give up moving forward
Although I may take a few steps back 
Not only for my own physical and mental health
But because you'd want me to stay on track!
