a rock and a hard place

poetry

when everything
piled together
becomes too much,
what is there to do
but to lock up one’s feelings,
to lock up one’s thoughts,
to do away with one’s humanity
and become something hard
that can’t feel the pain
of a lost love,
of a lost child,
of a lost friend,
gone for good,
for no good reason.

    Balance – Having the grace to walk the thin line between a rock and a hard place.

    There is never a good reason for a lost loved one, I have lost five friends since the first of the year the most recent over Mother’s day of which I made a dedication on my page for.

    She fought a losing battle with cancer for a year and a half.

    I know this, for as much as it hurt and for all the explantion I wanted.needed even from God, she would not have me be any less stronger than she was.

    Sometimes life just sucks.

    But I am thankful I have the angels I do, because I know them. Personally.

    Hope is a state of mind, not a state of being.

    Peace.
