A part of the

Grieving process

Loss of life

Self

Mutual selves

Relationships

For people

There are so many

Steps before this one

Shock

Denial

Depression

Anger

Understanding

Yes I have felt

Some of these

But for me

Acceptance

Came quick

I still need

Lots of time

I'm nowhere near

Where I am to be

Acceptance

For me is necessary

To heal

To move on

To get to that path

Of higher thinking

Power

Feeling

I am still sad

I am a bit angry

But I am getting

To a step all of its own

Indifference

I'm separating myself

From everything

Related to

This

This

Whatever this is

Or was

But will never be again

Lessons learned

I have no regrets

I have full

Acceptance

Of the cause and effect

It has made me

Will make me

A stronger person because of it

As a new year is just

Beyond the next horizon

Realization dawned swiftly

Of what I am actually

In fact

Looking for

Ultimately

That isn't

And will never be

You
