Poems about Grief

Coping with a loss

Poems about Grief

I'm not ready,

To say goodbye forever,

My hands are sweaty,

However,

It's your time,

You know it's true,

Always enjoyed my rhymes,

But I learned that from you,

You've taught me well,

Taught me to be strong,

Even when I fell,

We knew something was wrong,

When you said to me,

You won't make it to our birthdays,

At least you'll be free,

No more delays,

Don't you worry,

I'll always be here,

There's no hurry,

For you to disappear,

But before you go,

And your mind turns to sand,

I just want you to know,

I'm right here, holding your hand,

How much I care,

And how deep my love is,

I need some air,

To process all of this,

But what I need to say,

Is that I'll be okay,

I'll go my own way,

Won't be a stray,

Don't worry, I'll make it,

I have everything I need,

Because of you,

You've done your deed,

Just focus on the view,

Of where you're happy,

It'll be easier,

Don't mean to sound sappy,

This poem's getting cheesier,

But it's alright,

To make the journey,

Somewhere nice and bright,

We understand,

Even though,

We can't stand,

To watch you go,

But it's your time...

This next poem is after one year coping with the loss of a close family member. It shows the growth and change that you go through coping.

It's already been a year,

Where has the time gone?

Everyday I shed tears,

Sitting on the front lawn,

I'm all alone,

In this big ol' world,

Just wish I would've known,

Instead of being stuck in a dreamworld,

Can't you see?

How lost I am without you?

You were my key,

It's a hard pill to chew,

Can't go anywhere,

Without thinking of you,

Life just isn't fair,

You and me, we were stuck like glue,

Always lived with this fear,

Having to carry on,

Without you near,

But now that you're gone,

I miss you more than ever before,

If you were here,

You'd say "Go out and live, find out what life has in store!"

Your spirit runs through me,

You'd say "It's your time, to go out and explore."

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
