Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
The cycle of grief
Long Way Back by Jennifer Keeley
Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry


I would give anything for normal
Or even the illusion of normal to return.
Will it ever?

I want an answer,
need an answer
to move forward

Maybe it will make sense one day
Not now, not now
Certainly not now

The memory will remain
As the mind tries to release
what the heart cannot

Going thru the motions
for the sake of getting by
until reality kicks in

Smiling through the tears
while grieving from the loss
to make it one moment to the next
