HOW DO YOU GET PAST THE PAIN ?

How do you turn off the love you have accepted as part of your being?

How do you understand rejection?

How do you make it through each day and night?

How do you keep faith in the future, when your faith has been destroyed?

How do you learn to give again, when all you gave has been for nothing?

How do you live each day with hope,

When all you have hoped for has been taken away?

How do you believe, when all you've heard are lies?

How do you feel positive, when all you feel is negative?

How do you go on, when you feel you are going nowhere?

How do you love again, when loving means hurting?

How do you get past the pain?

How do you begin again?

You've left My World

You came into my world and now you're gone.

I'm hurt and sad, but not for long.

Because all I am and always was,

forever will be, and just because

You didn't stay. You now must see

You still can't take that away from me

The choice is mine to laugh and live,

and know I still have much to give.

What I gave to you, you didn't need.

All I have left is my life to lead.

From this day on my future plan

Is to take care of myself and begin again.

And if you should find that what I do

is not just what you want me to,

Remember the strengths I couldn't see?

They help me now, Take care of me

I've much to do and now must start.

Since You've left my world

and you broke my heart.

______________________________________

A Life Has Changed

Fates plan arranged

Emotionally weakened

A mind that's strong.

The will to survive

and prove Fate wrong.

Alone... scared, unconnected with life.

Faith and love destroyed.

Taken without choice.

Afraid to face the truth.

Lost... a shell, light fades to dark.

Unaccepted, Unwanted, Tossed aside.

Trust gone, the future uncertain.

A tear for what once was and will never be again.

Hope... faded, Love... ever present.

Wanting to reach out, but nothing to touch.

Happiness........over.

Resolve the past,

Analyze the present.

Make a plan.

The future is yours.

Take the Ride.
