No matter what the label, we are unable to comprehend betrayal,
There is little relief, except in belief when coping with grief.
It’s hard to describe, how hard it is to try in this life,
“Be faithful”, “be playful,” “be emotionally stable.”
It is okay to hate, to denigrate and even act a bit the reprobate,
It is okay to hurt, to be a little curt, to wear a three-day shirt.
But there is wealth in itself to take care of oneself,
So give, begin to live, and someday forgive.
Sometimes the feeling in your being can send your world reeling,
An ocean of emotion, causing so much hurt and commotion.
You try to survive the lies and try not to let hope die,
Appealing to reason to begin the healing.
So together we’ll face each horror, or sorrow, (as big as Kilimanjaro),
Getting through each day, knowing it is okay not to feel okay.
We will weather this endeavor, we will do it together!
Not feeling up to it? Meh, we can always do it tomorrow.
