Dream Disputes and Moving Forward

"Move on." Those are the words that everyone is thinking when I tell them the story of you. They would never outright say it because that would be cruel, especially when they know how much you still mean to me. I don't know why I feel the things I do or why I snag them like a pesky sweater. But I feel so deeply about the people I encounter and the experiences that I have that I have to write about them. I have to write about them in the loveliest manner I can think of so that they stay imprinted in my mind until the end of time. I write about things that hurt me so that my feelings have somewhere to go. When I tell people why I hurt, they can never truly understand what I'm saying because my spoken words will never convey how I feel the way I can when I write poems. The poems I have submitted are a lesson in walking out of the quicksand that is time. I am exhausted from living in the past and holding onto my dreams of people that are gone. May this submission be a symbol of growth and prosperity for myself and all that read it.

Writing for me, means the ability to express myself in a way that I am unable to through speaking. It helps me make a difficult time into something beautiful that myself and others feel comfortable in.
