You don’t know what it is
Until you truly experience it,
When someone close to you goes on
And you have to stay behind,
I’ve watched them come and live...
I’ve even watched them go
They leave me with a hole in my heart,
An empty space that will never be filled
People say things will get better,
But how can they be better
When the person I cared so much about
Will never experience the better things with me,
I don’t know what is to come
And that scares me all the time
Maybe one day I’ll see them once more
But until then, the hole will stay open...
And I won’t be whole again

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
