Sudden Change

Categories: Bereavement, Tears

A sudden cancellation
Another alteration
Too many changes
Bring on the tears.

I am constantly striving to walk
Across a fine tightrope
Then just when I think I’m balanced
Back on an even keel
Moving forward steadily
Just beginning to heal
Wham!
I’ve fallen back down
On the floor again
I grapple to get up
Struggle to stand.

Every day is a battle
I’m trying to be positive
Stand on my own two feet
But it’s so very difficult
I might have to admit defeat.

I’m devastated
Where do I go from here?
