Too Far Gone

I try to ignore emotions that I feel.
The ones that you hope will die
But they are unfortunately so real,
I tell myself, its getting easier, but it is a lie.

I look at the life that surrounds me now,
and I know it is not as it should be.
It continues moving on, I am not sure how,
because it is moving on without me.

How do you go about pausing your life
even for just a little while?
While you cut through pain slice by slice,
and when done, start up again with style.

I have tried for years to accept,
the things that I can't change.
But I have also learned not to expect,
anything, that I myself did not arrange.

Have I given up, is this my fate?
I have struggled with this too long.
Am I too consumed with hate?
Is there hope, or am I too far gone?

If only there were easy answers to
the questions that seem to haunt me.
I want to know what I can do,
to live my different life and feel free?

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/28/2018 10:27:00 AM gosh, Sandra, this one is very heartfelt and seems very authentic. I have been living recently with events in my life of which I have no control. It makes us feel powerless, but fortunately, i have enough other things I enjoy in life to keep me feeling hopeful and balanced. I hope for you to feel hope! Login to Reply Sandra L.
