Grief

A loneliness inside
Waiting for things to combine
Wishing you did something else instead
But really you just watched and cried
Like a tide that never rose
Or a puppy in the wild that is lost forever
A mask of grief, ‘Its torture!’ one once said
Everyone’s had grief of some sort
Its so common everyone will have it as a volcano in their life
Grief is like some one losing a family heirloom
Or the explosions in World War II BOOM!
But one way to overcome grief is to focus your mind on other things
Like hope
Maybe if we all focus on the positive there wouldn’t be a mountain load of grief and depression
Maybe, just maybe, there wouldn’t be any more war
