About the Poem
My life, although I haven't lived a great lot of it yet, has never really been easy. I wish I could express it as a picture, to try and make people understand. But I can't. It's an aurora of emotions. And no one can reach them - but me.
Sometimes I don't think I want to reach them. They hurt a lot and the pain is etched into my soul. Whatever I do, I will never, ever forget. All I can do is move on.
The Stronger Side |
| by Andrea E. Holmes |
| I walked along the ocean, my head bowed low in sorrow, I hardly handled today, how do I cope with tomorrow? The day was like every other, the pain the grief inside, my strength was running out, I could no longer hide. The pain was immense that day, it had never been that bad, and all of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn't feel as sad. Something happened that day, the weight became like a feather, it'll never be entirely gone though, the memories are there forever. Although I still look back and cry, I had a friend to confide, She means the whole world to me, She helped me reach the stronger side. |
