Living To Exist Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Shrinking from the light, standing in corners of darkness,
quietly watching what's going on, being captured in re-
flections of a black and gray mist.

Holding onto shadows of loss and grief, letting go of feel-
ings and emotions that have hurt me for so long, finding
thoughts rambling around my mind.

Looking for their meanings and definitions, not able to see
clearly in this dark and black environment, nothing to find,
only living to exist in an intense sadness.
