I Shall Proceed
Poetry for the broken hearted
I am stronger than I give myself credit for
My love is unconditional and stronger than Graphene
I have realized.
My depression keeps me listening
Hearing life as it really it
When I can dismiss the past, I will be free.
Life will be more then I have
Let anyone, no one hold me down
You are not my friend
Just someone attempting to hold me back.
But down is not a position I lay in
I breathe hope
I will not die
I will not disappear
I will proceed.
Head held high, my stilettos wrapped in pain
Against all who try to break me
I am a woman unconditionally.
At night when the lights are low
The candles lit
Alone
My tears will fall
As I scream at the ghosts of my past
I shall proceed.
