Over Due Journey

Tossing out the memories while waving my good bye
Sucking in the fresh air and exhaling a deep sigh
I am usually a positive thinker but all my hope was gone
How could all my prayers and confidence steer me so wrong

I had the heart and stamina to take charge and care for others
Everyone could count on me, just ask my Mother
So when I ended up where I thought I would never be
Not only a shock for others, it definitely bushwhacked me

Friends and family watched and wondered what was going on
They all had their own judgments or ideas of what was wrong
Their thoughts and feelings were lacking knowledge and unkind
I didn't give a shit...my survival was the utmost on my mind

Even on the brightest days I had thoughts of no hope
My loss was only mine and no one could help me cope
My lonely endless struggles & along with time standing still
Brought me closer to myself and to gain a stronger will

My grief was real for anyone that sought to see
Little do friends and family know, that it's hard to be me.
Always praying for others, for their happiness and health
It took an overwhelming journey to learn how to pray for myself
