Background Noise: Poem

 

Background Noise

Slipped, and shattered and gone.

In the world of suffering,

It is a lot to handle when overcoming.

Sudden, senseless,

And it’s bearably painful.

The days to follow are blur.

I feel like a ghost drifting

Throughout my own living.

I can sit for hours

And watch the world go by.

I am strongly convinced

That time to be

The main character ended

As my own story is over.

I became the background noise.

The one who does not know grief,

See her always alone and leave.

One day, she was sent flowers,

And at this moment,

She forgot that she is an old woman,

A forgotten widow

Full of suffering and sorrow.

At this moment, it was worst to smile.

She was blessed to be alive.

It is always a surprise

In the morning sunrise.

Some days are better.

Some days are worse.

I look on the positive side

Instead of the course.

You cannot do it all,

But you can do your best.
