This is a poem I wrote nearly 2 years ago after a break-up with my last boyfriend. The first part I wrote and one of my good friends finished it with the second part of the poem. Can you relate?
I’m moving forward
Cause nothing else matters
I’m doing things one day at a time
Because I can’t predict the future
I choose to live in hope
Because hope is precious
I will be strong
Because I won’t accept less
We do what’s necessary
We all must make a stand.
Taking steps
Advancing towards another place
It’s one foot at a time
[After the first arduous step]
We base our futures off of past
And off of present
When all that is is present
Past is a thought of memory
And future
A thought of anticipation
Of assumption and prediction
Let go
It is the truest strength
To stand alone
Nothing is necessary
And everything is nothing
