Words, words, words...

"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." - Robert Frost

        Just a poem I wrote last night and today.  These feelings and thoughts have been running through my head, so I put them down on paper.  Wanted to share.  Hope you like it! :)

-Believe-

Feel the feels

then let them go

Let them fly, let them flow

far into the fading sky;
beyond your reach

Let it teach you to feel

and believe time will heal

into the scar
you merely recall from afar

Live and learn

but do not dwell

upon the hell

of what "should've" or "could've"

It's over, it's gone, it's in the past

Try not to let this aching last

As your heart fell apart

the pieces scattered into the air

and now you don't give a care

You grew numb and you're "so done"

Just let it go, let it fly

far into the distant sky

I know it hurts; and I know it's hard

and you've put up that sturdy guard

Not all dreams do come true;

yet it's truly up to you

if those walls build and grow

or crumble and fall; just let them go

We all have to close that door

when all we wanted was so much more

Not everything is in our control, 

but that's life; it can cut like a butcher's knife

A moment that you treasured; 

a moment that you dread

and you feel your heart is beating
even though it's dead

A memory you visit from time to time

will slowly drift out of mind

You don't have to forget,
just don't live with regret

Let it flow, let it fly

and try to stop asking "why"

Let it be; let the pain bleed

But don't you dare give up, 

even if you feel you've "had enough"

I can't claim to understand completely;

every situation plays out uniquely

Though if you remember one thing today

know it won't always feel this way

There's so much beauty to behold

in each day as we grow old

Love this life; you've got one chance

Don't curse the storm;

dance.
