My Life (post divorce and empty nest) in Sonnets
Pensive Daughter
Original Contemporary Poetry by author, Jean Parr
“Pensive Daughter”
Chaos surrounds me as I stand still
Time whirls past as I try not to lose my breath
I paste a smile on my face as though my life is fulfilled
What they don't know is that I am suffering a pain worse than death
What would you do if the one thing you wanted, was not to be?
Would you try to buy it? It's not for sale.
Would you simply try to take it? It circles around and flees
Would you try to win it? It's too broken and frail
Or, would you let it go, like the bottle to the sea?
If it comes back to you, it was meant to be
But, what if it was meant and destiny took the key?
Which hurts more, fate or destiny?
Pensive daughter who knows not,
But is often told to stay in the moment and rot
