Grief, a term tossed lightly until it tapped upon my door, No preparation, no guide, just its weight to explore. Blocking it away, drowning, or trying to stay afloat, Navigating through its labyrinth, a personal boat.

Pain, emptiness, a disorientation profound, Feelings of loss, a pain like none I had found. In my adult life, you came, an unwelcome friend, Challenging my strength, making my heart rend.

Standing by the ocean, a witness to my despair. Isolation my refuge, wanting solitude near.

Standing by the ocean, a witness to my strife, Wishing away the pain, embracing a new life. Lying in bed, questioning God's silent reply, But now I rise, ready to touch the sky.

Grief, you were my teacher, my unforeseen guide, A journey uncharted, where emotions collide. Yet, amidst the darkness, resilience unfurls, I now declare, it's time to embrace new worlds.

In the quiet surrender, as tears slowly wane, Strength emerges, breaking through the pain. A dance with darkness, a personal fight, I now declare, it's time to welcome the light.

Life came, life went, chapters turned and spun, Yet now, a new chapter, a journey just begun. Walking away from you, Grief, with grace, Opening a new chapter, embracing life's embrace.

Being here is my celebration of life, A testament to resilience, amidst the strife. Grief, you shaped me, but I break free, Now I celebrate life, embracing what will be.
