Poetry by Charles Joseph

Carry On

Mama,
Help.
Please.

Get up.
I need you.
I can’t do it anymore.

Mama,
Come back to life.
I’m trapped in living’s strife.

Where are you?
I want to get to know
Your eyes.

Mama,
It’s not fair

Why do you get to move on?
But I’m stuck, here, failing to stay strong?

    Damn. I did not wake up thinking I was going to cry today. Thank you for sharing this. It evoked so many complex emotions ♥️

      Thank you for reading and being vulnerable with your reaction. It was a very difficult piece to write, share and experience. The hardest part of moving on is doing it alone
