"...got all your Love letters written on my Skin..."

I miss you, you have been gone for a few years now.......
Life has changed dramatically...
I miss the honesty, the truth you brought...
I mourn you, yet you are not dead..................
My grief is complex, intense, and for sure will take a few more years to diminish...
So many of you lost, gone from me...
I suffer in grief, while all of you find it so easy to cast me aside...
I have passions, desires, dreams, you never saw, you chose to ignore me, see through me...
Who could I blame you really, I did not even know who I was then either...
Labels are still placed on me, I am just a wife, just a mother, but that is not only who I am!
You try to dumb me down, you tried to tear me down, I have risen...
No more darkness, even if I have to fight until my fingers bleed from constantly climbing out...
More people have gone again, I stand alone, but it is ok now, I am never really alone...
The Grey cloud still visits me, but atleast I know what to do when it is raining........

I will dance!

"Life is not about waiting for the Storm to pass,
but learning to dance in the Rain!"
