2 months before I turned 21 I crossed paths with a man who savagely betrayed my trust I buried the memory deep within me hoping it would fade like a lost dream Even so that still couldn't erase the shock, disbelief, or disgust I vowed to never tell anyone Scared of what consequences may come because of my naivety I carried the weight of the blame for what had been done To make matters worse It wasn't until months later that I realized that man gave me cupids itch I was no virgin but it's like he stole my innocence Everything I thought I knew began to switch But despite everything I continued on with my life Filling my head with my own delusions It's no wonder since that day nothing has gone right I fell for a man who was not what he seemed He told me he loved me but was having a child with someone else Still today I can remember how he was so cold and mean The foundation of my life was rupturing under my feet I thought things couldn't get any worse Little did I know of what the future had in store for me 3 months after I turned 22 My world was rocked by a loss of a dear friend In hindsight so much shit could have been avoided But it's clear our beliefs overshadowed our bond in the end Leaving us to misunderstand each other and to ultimately break apart The true heart of the matter lost in translation So I guess anguish and disappointment penetrated my heart It's pretty surreal that now we're like strangers There was a time when we were as thick as thieves Goes to show how everything changes We fast forward to just 6 months later where I'm crushed at my core This pain tipped the scales Having me question if I wanted to live anymore A person I cherished with every fiber of my being was taken in his sleep There is no metaphor to exemplify how it changed my life forever A part of me is lost, buried 6 feet deep I couldn't stop the weight of this loss from consuming me I had no appetite and tears flowed consistently Sleep was the only escape out of my misery Praying to see him again in my dreams It was the one place I could be comforted with his memory A place where everything was how it used to be In the midst of my pain, a man was trying to heal my broken heart He tried his best to provide me with limitless comfort and support Desperate to mend me from the start But he didn't know how to love a wounded person properly It takes a great deal of patience and understanding 2 traits I believe were foreign to him honestly We were both like shattered glass with pieces scattered And broken beyond count Each failing to fix the other But both steadily fighting to figure it out Despite our efforts, our chaotic match could only last but for so long I'm sure he stayed as long as he could stand to Even now he is the one I think of when I sing a sad love song The day after I turned 23 I was told my step brother was killed I remember feeling my soul sink into depths of despair How was I supposed to rebuild? What did I do to get treated so unfair? I was watching each situation in my life go from bad to worse Death seemed to be following me like a shadow As if I was walking with a curse My mind was in total chaos So much change happening at a rapid pace I struggled to make sense of my thoughts Doing whatever I could to numb the pain Chain smoking like the weed could take all my problems away Basically I felt I needed something to help me sustain Even so that only appeared to blur the days together There were times I had no energy to even get out of bed Sadly to say I fell victim to the pressure My days were spent doing everything under a cloud of sadness I wallowed in a pool of my sorrows Sinking deeper and deeper into madness The mistakes I made were countless There were days I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror And I know I was the cause of a lot of stress I was in desperate search for someone to help me heal this pain Really wanting someone to fill the holes in my heart But I knew the way I was living had put me under strain As I look back now I understand that one missing puzzle piece was self-love That became the foundation for my healing However I'd be lying if I said this process hasn't been tough Writing is what truly became my saving grace My journal served as a kind of therapy My pen allowed me to unleash the pain I had nowhere to place I stopped searching for someone to sympathize or understand me Instead, every word, every syllable, every completed poem Contributed to my growing strength I began to fall in love with this new me Gradually embodying the woman I always dreamed of being Transitioning from a girl to a woman is a pivotal moment And I am determined to make sure mine is one worth teaching I now realize that pain is a lifelong companion And the healing process doesn't have an end Eventually we must let go of the past Although with some departures closure seemed to slip through our grasp Also it's true that after every dark night, there's a bright day after that After being in darkness for so long I remember looking up at the sun She said to me "At last, my love, you have finally come back."
