Gratefully giving up
June 19, 2016
I'm grateful
And there is no reason why except
He was put in my life
All that matters is that he is the glue
Between the joy and depression
He is always there
With the 2am phone calls,
Sunday morning walks,
The many dinners and
Cuthroat Kitchen episodes
The amount of effort it takes to hide through
It all is mentally draining
Maybe this is the breaking point
It might be time to invest in myself and come clean.

Good job Diya!
This is a reversal poem so read it from top to bottom then from bottom to top.
Also, this poem was inspired by recent events in my life and certain lines were pulled from my personal journal. I hope you enjoy this poem and maybe you can relate to it in anyway.
