Chapter: Today

I haven't written here for a long time, although I've already created a fairly large collection of very thoughtful (and for some people probably depressed) poems.
So here's a new one:

What did I lose today?
The courage to be myself;
the strength that keeps me going

And where will they be
my friends, acquaintances, family
When I stand alone in front of my life
must admit to me
I've lost more
than just power:
myself

Time does not heal all wounds
some become scars
None can fade
without having been painful beforehand.
So why fight then?
Why get hurt any longer?

May the answer be with others
or do I only find it with me?
So many questions, never a satisfactory answer
Is grief and loss the only way?
Maybe not,
but for some there is no second

Tada, done. Some of you can probably do more with it than others, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.Before that came about, I partied and that was probably the most frightening ...
