I rose this morning at the dawning of a new day Realizing for the first time in a while...I had no tears to brush away Sun is shining through my window, exposing perfect patches of blue sky No longer do I want to just curl up under a rock, taking my last breath to die I have so many dreams I want to come true Mountains that I want to climb too Taking it one day at a time, one foot in front of the other Time to find out who I am again, time to rediscover Weary heart of mine is beginning to heal The pain starting to subside, love in my heart I do feel Tears are beginning to cease, anger subsiding away Blue skies shining in my eyes, beginning to replace ones of gray I am not over you, that will take a long time to occur But no longer can this pain and anger can I endure Shadows now are fading, as new promise gives light Knowing this will be a uphill battle...but I'm prepared to fight As each day passes by, a little stronger I'll become It's now my time to shine and have some fun in the sun I had begun to lose myself, in all the chaos and dust Though some days I'll want to go backwards...continuing forward I must So home I have come, to be around my loves ones once more Together with you all around me...to the heavens I shall soar On to new tomorrows, bring with it whatever it will Now is the time...for my heart to begin to heal Amy M. Kennedy I'm home guys. I have missed you all so much. Please bear with me for the following months or so...as I am not sure where my writing is going to go. I'm not sure what direction my writing will take... Thank you all for your support, love and understanding... love amy "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Healing takes time... that road is a long one. But sometimes, those first steps are the hardest to take... and you've taken those. *S* (And isn't it great to have a refuge waiting?) Great work! |

Hey, now I don't feel so completely lost No, I left too, and I'm not writing as much, cause so much is going on in my life, but good, now I can relax a bit and not feel silly for what? being emotional I guess. Amy - I loved this, it spoke to me, I don't know you at all but it certainly did speak to me and I wanted to let you know that........keep writing!

As each day passes by, a little stronger I'll become It's now my time to shine and have some fun in the sun I had begun to lose myself, in all the chaos and dust Though some days I'll want to go backwards...continuing forward I must ================ not much I can add to such wisdom of heart  yes...stronger everyday.. as you heal in your own light and by your own words. Well written words of lessons learned and hope renewed sunshine girl. Welcome home  When you see thru loves illusion, theres the danger your perfect lover looks like a perfect fool you go running off in search of a perfect stranger |

"I am not over you, that will take a long time to occur." I remember this exact feeling, when you become weary of the pain and anger and you know you must begin to let go and go on...not easy but possible...James |

Healing is quite a process but just by writing this you have taken another step toward that good old independent thinking...and of course being yourself to yourself...this is very well written! |

Amy, Hey there!! Nice to see you back here. May the healing begin and bring you the peace you deserve. Don't worry, that love is out there and it will find you in time. Take care. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

awwwww you guys are the best! i am glad to be back here among my family and friends. during my time away... i thought about a lot of things. i guess what i learned most in life is... there will be things that happen and you just can't figure out why...and those things will make you very sad, but if you look (really look) in your life you will realize there are just as many good thigns that have happened that you can't explain either...one of those things for me is you guys and this place. take care all of you! amy  "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Must've missed this the first time around. I can relate alot to it. I recently became 'uninvolved' in a yo-yo kind of relationship. When it was finally more painful to go on loving than it was to leave...that was what it took for me. And though I still think of her everyday...I try real hard not to think too long. Even when I write about it on here, I maintain a certain detachment. It has helped. So has reading your poetry. I'm kinda new here so I didn't even know you were gone...Ha!...but I'm glad you came back. |
