Echoes

Echoes

Now I am well and recovered from illness

I see what I have lost, life has moved on for others

I see echoes of what might have been,

What I used to be, look like and what I am now.

I feel grief, pain and suffering,

I feel the emptiness, confusion and instability.

I feel echoes of what might have been,

What I used to be, look like and what I am now.

I was on a road that swerved and crashed

I was going somewhere and now I am lost

I was and now I am an echo of the past

What I used to be, look like and what I am now.

I cannot go back; the road is no longer there

I cannot be who I used to be, that person is no longer there

I cannot let the echo of the past define me.

I am a different person, on a different road, in a different reality.
