A Ghost Poem by Desiree Whitamore

these last few months have taught me
things i never thought they could.
like how to believe in myself
when no one else ever would.
if i had to live it over
there is nothing i would change
i loved every moment
and everything that took place.
now i have a fresh new look
on the reasons why i'm here
and even if no one can tell me
i'm still glad to know they care.
and maybe after all this time
all this pain will finally end
and the person i used to be
will be able to shine again.
so heres to living for the future
please just smile and raise your glass
if we just believe these words
we can escape from our pasts.
this world will never change
that is what i love the most
and while it just gets worse from here
i'm glad i've finally faced my ghosts.
