Closer

lonelyraccoon

There’s really nothing I can do to slow down time

You can’t stop a river’s flow when you’ve overcome every obstacle

It starts out with hope and faith

Then the water picks up and it’s fear and doubt

And all you can do is focus on the good

But negative things love to intrude on those moments

Big numbers are turning into smaller ones

It’s getting sadder

Who knew that the most important step to getting closer to happiness
Has been sadness all along

  • Comment from author about the poem: Life has been chaotic, I run out of time for poetry but I have the ideas for them. I wrote this with my near future in mind, a discharge from a group home that I’ve been in for less than a year. I changed drastically and I’m still adjusting, now I must adapt to my emotions and surroundings in a short period of time.
