Life Goes On (Poem)

Eventually,
the nightmares will turn into dreams,
the pain will turn into strength,
and the fake smiles become real ones.

Tears will remain tears, for sadness or joy.
Fear will fade and courage will take its place.
Wings will heal and chains will break.
The heart will mend as it remembers freedom.

Breathing in, taking it all in
breathing deeper as it floods the mind.
Breathe out, letting it all go.
Leaving only memories of what was.

Time,
no longer for the past,
nor spent on the future,
but only for right now is the most important.
