 JANET'S PLANET

What I Once Was


What I once was
I can never be
Who I am now
Is a totally different being
What I have lost
Is lost and cannot be found
My world has turned upside down
As I carry this heavy load
I must discover a new road
I cannot speak
My words are weak
My words lackluster
I am in solitude
Solitary confinement
My body aches
My heart is broken
Broken into tiny pieces
You are gone
I will never be the same

ŠAugust 4, 2015 Janet Griffin

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.

- Oscar Wilde - *This quote is me my feelings I feel that I barely exist right now.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.  ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

What complexity theory teaches me is to remind myself, where are my boundaries? What view am I choosing to look from?...Who am I becomes a question of how am I looking at myself?

- Neil Theise -

 "You're a fighter. Look at everything you've overcome. Don't give up now."- Olivia Benson

"Be gentle with yourself, you are doing the best you can." - Unknown
