eighth month reflection

another august past

another birthday over

another month gone

I am still

not talking

silently as a mime

this month

lessons were learned

memories were made

laughter tears

anger bruises

loving hating

lonely content

fearful fearless

were all present

realizing I am

tough when at

my weakest point

nothing will stop

me from becoming

the woman I am

destined to be

as I turn the page

into september

remembering all

the good will always

outweigh the bad

through rough moments

good is gone

and all I can

see is the bad

but the good

is never far

even when the light

is out and all I

see is darkness

 feel hopeless

the light is in me
