A hopeful chapter.

I don't want to write about you anymore
I have found solace in my writing,
It serves as a place to relieve my aches,
But I don't want to write about you anymore.
I don't want to write about you at all.
I am a passionate poet and this book will be more than pain, it will capture my existence at this stage, and I am so much more than the pain you caused me.

Towards the sun
In times of darkness I must remind myself that while I don't know where I am going, I will get there.
If I continue on my journey to a happier life, each step brings me closer.
Every time I pull myself into the light,
Every moment I spend searching for joy,
Every second I put towards the life I wish to live,
I grow closer.
I grow closer to genuine smiles,
I grow closer to sunny days.
I grow closer to the glowing light of the sun above me.

In between
Something I've realized about moving through life differently, is that change won't be one moment.
Change won't be a sudden realization or Epiphany as much as it will be days of slow progress.
I spent years searching for a single moment that would change my entire existence, when it's truthfully the smallest moments that create.
