Ends
People will find god during loss
Grief will lead them to believing in something else
Anything to find meaning
Anything to make it less random less painful
But I didn’t
My first loss turned me away
Because if someone out there cares this much
Why take those from me that I love
When I lose people
I take comfort in space
I take comfort in having two states between us
In having distant relationships
I move forward in seeing the sun
In knowing that the world is still there
That when I am ready the world will welcome me back
My initial reaction to reading this was anger. Thinking on it, I understand the viewpoint. Being able to elicit various reactions through writing is a good thing.
Thank you! This is definitely a poem that is a love it or hate it poem. I totally understand being angry with it.
