Don’t Let It Consume You

The pain that traps time in the air,

The words that have no meaning,

The temporary feelings that will fade,

The biggest love that did not deserve you,

The trauma that scarred you way too young,

The friends that you out grew,

The empty time you spent with someone for way too long,

The racing thoughts,

The sad days that seem never ending,

The fear to dream,

The courage to grow,

The memories that haunt you,

The mistakes you made,

The apologies you never gave,

The times you regret not calling,

The loss of someone who left before you were ready,

Don’t let any of it consume you,

But do feel,

Because life is made of up moments meant to be felt, not lived in
