Grief

I can not simply get over it

I can not simply say it does not fit

It's not something I can merely go around

Or dig a deep tunnel underground

It is not something I can build a bridge over

Or wish it away with a four leaf clover

It is not something I can avoid forever

It is not something I can forget, not ever

It brings about so much fear

It takes me so far away from here

It floods me with so many tears

It overcomes me in sorrow as it nears

I can not just pass it by

It will never just simply die

It will be there forevermore

I've no chance but to pass through the door

There's only one thing for me to do

It is something I must walk through

I must cry the tears and feel the pain

I must scream and yell and go insane

It is grief, and there is only one thing to do

I must jump in and pass through

When I reach the other side one day

My feet will hurt, and my shoes will be worn away

And even though at times I may take a dive

I know this is something I will survive
