Untitled

I am sitting in the rubble of my old life,
I have clung so fiercely to these walls
That my desperation tore them down,
And i so nearly ripped off each hand
I had to shake goodbye,
But it is my own limp limbs that are broken,
And cannot mend with an unmendable heart,
I just wish that someone had warned me,
That growing up meant growing apart.

Wow Catherine you really

Wow Catherine you really have a way with words I especially like the second two lines I completely understand how our emotional responses to situations can often make them worse, I am having to leave my home and some of my family and this poem really captures how I feel, thanks. X
