I Haven’t Written in a Long Time

I haven’t written in a long time not because I wouldn’t.

I haven’t written in a long time just because I couldn’t.

There were a lot of things that I could have said but I didn’t want to.

So now I feel the need to say what I have been through.

I lost my mom recently and it had me down.

My words should give hope to someone so that’s why I write them down.

I am trying to open up but it’s easier to stay in the shadows and not make a sound.

Quietly thinking of memories we shared. Her and I were alike in ways that seemed different until now.

I miss her voice though it still echoes in my head. I miss her love although it will always be around.

I will be alright because she left me strong, and one day I’ll see her again so I’ll just keep holding on.
