The Beauty of the End
The end isn't always the end. At least, not in the way we think. Everything has an ending, And there are a lot of endings That we're glad to see. There are also endings that are inevitable. They mark the beginning of a new chapter, A new day you can wake up with new dreams. Endings mark the wrapping up of one thing So that something else can start. Sometimes, they're like a do-over, Letting you take a step back and Have another shot to get things right. But... There are also times when an ending Becomes a lesson for us to learn. Maybe it's a sign to stop rushing in, Or maybe everything you thought was wrong. We have to take these moments

Situational Ice
Cold... A lack of heat. Cold... The whipping winds. Cold... Snowflakes all around. Cold... Your blood when you're scared. Cold... The indifference of a period. Cold... The feeling of being alone, And knowing it's your fault.

The Downside to Empathy
I walk the path others don't, Trekking through the mud and The weather to carry them Back onto the path. I suffer through things others can't, Taking headaches and heartbreaks In stride, because for me, Rest is a seldom luxury. I teeter the line others won't, Helping them to stay happy While each push threatens To break my balance. I've felt things that'd cause others to break, Hopelessness and despair so deep They could only be described As drowning endlessly. I've heard things that'd make others stop, "I love you"s turning to "I hate you"s, Forever becoming never, my dreams Are but the victim of reality. I've had moments where I stop a

Helpless
Red. The color of anger, And of pain. It's all you can see As you hear them break. Voice becoming quieter, Softer, Before that inevitable Catch in their words. Something is wrong. Very wrong. Your loved one is hurting, Crying, Screaming inside, And all you can do is listen. How can you calm them down When you're far from calm yourself? Your heart howls, Defend them! Hold them tight! Resolve the problem! Do SOMETHING!! Like what?! Your brain counters. What can we do?! We're too far away! We can't even hold their hand, Let alone shield them! Both mind and heart fall silent, Unsure of what to do Or how to feel... We'll be their support.

This person has a lot Of talent and skill. So I added her to my Watch List so I could See more beautiful Photographs... But what I got was so Much more than that.

She said she was okay, and Thanked me for my concern. Not a full day later, and she Posted another devastating Poem in her jou
