Today I felt
October 31, 2017
Today I felt
Today I felt a touch
Of something that felt like love
It was brighter than the sun
But then it began to change
Today I felt a touch
Of something that felt like loneliness
I felt as though I couldn’t move
And all hope was stolen away
Today I felt a touch
Of something that felt like sadness
For the person that I lost inside myself
I buried heart away
Today I felt nothing
Like a deep longing to love myself
But you have taken away my worth
And only left me with distress
I just want to know myself
I just want to be myself
I just want to walk free again
This is what is left of me

I was inspired but a recent part of my life, that I'm still dealing with. This is about the fight you feel within yourself when you go through something that is life changing and devastating. Whether it was a death, break up, you have been violated mentally or physically. We aren't taught to prepare for situations that blindside us and how we react doesn't make you a good person or a bad person. It makes you human.
