Grieving

For some sick reason of which we don’t understand,
When we’re at our best, when we’ve reached the peak,
We are kicked back down.
We like to think we are
Impenetrable,
Invincible,
Unstoppable,
And then suddenly,
We are stopped. Dead
Or so it seems…

We seem to think that we are forever,
And we depend on that infinite invincibility,
Thinking that will hold us up;
That it will be there forever.
So we pretend to forget what we know is logical.
So when that support does fall,
We are shocked and shaken,
And brought back down.
The only key to stop ourselves from falling flat,
Is to stop leaning on to what we know is false,
And accept reality.
