You left me
My world ended
Then and there
No hunger to eat
No thirst to drink
I was a barren land
Blown to pieces was I
Couldn't collect em all
They were playing hide and seek
Then a hand came
Saying I'm here for you
And it has been there since birth
It was my hand only
The part of me
That could lift me up
But I wasn't ready
I pushed the hand
Away at first
It was adamant
Said it could see spark
In my eyes still
I looked in the mirror
The spark was right there
I grabbed myself up
I was broken, tattered to pieces
I needed medication
Sought help from doctors
Couldn't tell her
The whole story
Just the symptoms
Not the avalanche
And earthquakes underneath
She gave the medication
I gave myself the pep talk
Looking into the mirror
Now I can stand
Straight, without the
Baggage of you
You have found a life
Without me and
I without you
What looked like
The end of the world
Was just the beginning
A beginning of me
To find a place
For myself in the world
To get back on track is a win over self, you did it nicely and expressed through poetry perfectly.
A great poem.It is the beginning of a new 'You' and your new found determination will surely take you in the path of success.
A honest page out of life. I endorse Nosheen's feedback. Well-written piece
To overcome such tragedy in life is no joke, it takes a lot to fight back. Your poem deals with such situation and in the end you are what you did, I liked the Pep talk with self-Part.

Very powerful piece of writing with a great message. Self-reliance is the only way to survive the battles of life. Strength comes from within. Bravo!
