so this is just a little poem i wrote about some of the general effects of heartbreak, how much it changes you, and the benefits of it.
It's crazy.
the fact that I was so convinced:
"They're different"
"I trust them".
But no.
They were no different than anyone else.
It's crazy
how the colors in this vibrant world
turned dull
within the matter of a minute.
Feeling yourself become someone else,
not enjoying what you used to love.
What made you happy
was snatched away in an instant.
Turning anxious.
Always stressed.
No matter how much you try,
you can't focus.
Everything is different.
But you know what else is crazy?
The way you can bounce back.
You'll be changed forever,
but in the best way possible.
It's crazy
how after being broken for so long,
it teaches you to find yourself.
To know your worth.
How to make yourself happy,
finding new things you love,
better appreciating the little things you used to ignore.
as you can probably infer, i had experienced this feeling myself. when this project was assigned, all our teacher told us was to submit our favorite poem. this is the poem i submitted:
Oh the faith I had in you
was once the faith I had in me
atop a pedestal you stood
proud and unmoving
a god, in your belief
and once in mine
never once were you a saint
just a thief
stealing hearts
when their keepers went blind
looking only at the light in your eyes
unseeing of the darkness in your soul
V. E. K.
keep in mind, i did not write that one. after submitting our favorite poems, my teacher stated we would have to write our own poem in the same type of format, sort of like "copying" (it's really not copying, but i'm not sure how else to state it) someone else's work and somehow finding your own voice in doing so. i decided it would be nice to twist things up and make it more uplifting at the end where i talk about how no matter how hard and horrible it hurts, it shapes you into a better person overall.
if you're going through something similar, it's easier said than done, but just stay strong. it gets better after a while, just give yourself some time. everything will work out in the long run:)
