Samantha Van Norman Poem
Honestly, I'm exhausted
I don't know how to do it all,
Giving each day my everything,
One step away from a free fall,
But still I continue on,
One foot in front of another,
Across life's tight rope,
Because I'm thier mother,
These three little blessings,
Completely sweet and innocent,
My god, they're my world,
They fill me with content,
How did I get so lucky,
I thank the stars above,
That I get to be their mom,
Giving them all my love,
So each day I push through,
Because giving up isn't a choice,
I never want to miss a day,
Of hearing thier little voice.

Samantha Van Norman Poem
First thought when I wake up,
Is how much I miss you,
I think of the light in your eyes,
Your beautiful smile too,
Your infectious laughs,
The dreams I had for you,
The goals you made,
And the ones you pushed me to do,
Your pure heart,
How some days you pushed through,
Still always lifting others,
I'm so proud of you,
I miss your hugs,
Your kisses and stories too,
I never thought this life,
Would provide so few,
Sometimes I pick up my phone,
To call or text you,
Tell you something funny,
Or just ask what's new,
But then I remember,
What I wish wasn't true,
You're no longer on this earth,
I no longer have you,
How do I face each day,
I haven't got a clue,
How can the world go on,
It doesn't make sense without you,
I don't want to face another night,
Or wake to another morning dew,
Not unless this universe,
Gives me back you.

Samantha Van Norman Poem
I can feel the life,
That flows through my viens,
But each beat of my heart,
Just brings me pains,
There's nothing wrong,
as far as you can see,
But I can't stop the want,
To claw the life out of me,
My heart squeezes tight,
And my lungs feel stiff,
My insides so hollow,
My mind in a dark drift,
I am so very lucky,
My life is so full
I have three little blessings,
That should make me feel whole,
There's nothing you can say,
That I haven't already said,
You see, I already know,
It's all in my head,
But that never stops the ache,
Or the urge to end it all,
Every day I war with myself,
Praying, in this battle I don't fall.

Samantha Van Norman Poem
If the world wasn't crushing me,
Who would I be?
If I wasn't stuck in survival mode,
And I was able to dream,
If breathing was a little easier,
And my heart didn't beat so loud,
What would I spend my energy on?
What would my life be about?
Would I cease to exist?
Possibly find some joy?
Would life have some meaning,
Or is it all a ploy?
What if I find,
There is no meaning?
Nothing good actually lasts,
And true joy is fleating,
It doesn't even matter,
How hard I grasp,
Or if I try to memorize the moments,
Because nothing good actually lasts?
The moments still pass,
The memories fade,
Absolutely nothing is permanent,
Not pain or even hate,
But what about love?
Not the fairytale kind,
Or the romance type.
But the love for my child.
When the moments have passed,
And memories are gone,
When life feels empty,
And I'm dying alone.
When I can't remember,
Everything time has stole,
The love for my child,
Will still be embedded in my soul.

Samantha Van Norman Poem
I feel so weak,
No strength to fight,
It's all left my body,
Out like a light,
I'd hope to find a cure,
That this day wouldn't come,
But now I'm too tired,
To reach out to someone,
I know they all cry,
Probably scream and not understand,
I promise I tried my best,
I'm okay with this end,
There'll be no more pain,
Not for me atleast,
I'm so sorry,
I just need this release,
I'll leave a note,
So you know it wasn't you,
I don't want you to think,
There was anything you could do,
My love will never waver,
It's now just from afar,
I know you can feel me,
I'm where ever you are,
You'll see me again,
In a much better light,
Free and unburdened,
From this inner fight.
