Living Life

Living life each day
come what may
is a choice I make 
but I feel like a fake
because I am heartbroken
and although not outspoken
My pain is screaming
and I am dreaming
of the day that grief
will only take up a brief
part of my life and not be
the center of me

Fake it till you make it. There is no simple instruction for healing ~ it's a process that is organic and very individual ~

Grief is never fake, other things are.

This poem fairly bleeds honesty, Kathleen. Truly moving... Hang in there, Gershon
