Chapter 10: Farewell
It's been a long journey and it feels like an eternity,
But I know deep down that this is the end of me.
The darkness has left me, but the pain still lingers on,
It's quieted down but I will always remember what's gone.
The last of my words have been said and heard,
It's time for me to move on from all the hurt.
I've come full circle with these poems so dark,
But it's not goodbye forever just a promise for a new start.
My heart and soul have been laid bare for all to see,
But I now accept that life doesn't always have to be so bleak.
The darkness will still linger, but it's never the end,
There is always a way forward, no matter how hard we may bend.
Authors note: I'm so proud, but I also feel a sense of sadness at the same time. But I know this is not goodbye to my journey and that I will continue on for many years to come. If you enjoyed this journey with me, thank you for being there and I hope you can take something from it too.
