Letting Go

The sun rose high this morning,
The darkness seemed to somewhat heal.
The light feels increasingly warming,
Perhaps a new life will soon reveal.

What is someone expected to do,
When losing a battle they didn’t start?
How am I supposed to make it through,
When my body is ripping itself apart?

With a constant pain every time I wake,
I have many things left to explore.
So many friends left to make,
For my heart has not yet closed its door.

To those already present in my life,
Talking to you makes me feel complete.
And to my future husband or wife,
I’m so sorry we’ll never get to meet.

It pains me how quickly time flies,
How fast my vision is turning blue.
I fall asleep to my mother’s cries,
Fully aware there’s nothing I can do.

Yet I still get up early every day,
To count all the sunsets I get to see.
I realise I’ll soon fly its way,
And perhaps that’s what sets me free.

I spend several hours staring above,
With a body feeling very sore.
But gratitude brings hope and love,
And I’m blessed to see the sun once more.
