Remnants of History

Remnants in History

If you could only understand
the pain entrenched inside.
Not desiring to leave this world
but questioning at times,
whether lingering on
is the solution to the pain.

Relief comes with help from others
but they don’t realize
this life of disability
is not what I had planned.
They say ‘get it together’
which only demonstrates how little
of my world they understand.

My closest friends are virtual.
How would that make you feel?
Those who knew and loved me
are simply remnants in history.
Please life, go easy on me.
I just long to be free
hoping what lies ahead
is nothing I should dread.

I live amidst misunderstandings
and words which shouldn’t be said.
At times life seems to be a farce
but I will pull myself together,
and bravely forge ahead
where it’s not just an illusion,
where with respect my words are read.
