Come back

Everyone has been through their own traumatic events. It is up to you to move on from them.

It is not a light decision nor an easy thing to accomplish. You can let it consume you until your turn to dust or you can release your grip from it and heal. 

Whatever your choice, the world will continue to turn. 

People will continue walking the streets and go about their day.

Animals will continue their daily routine.

Wind will keep blowing from end to end.

The world will not stop for no person or thing.

It is time to get a grip of yourself and learn to rebuild what was destroyed.

You were strong enough to go through what you’ve been through. 

And you will be strong enough to lift yourself from the dark hole.

The earth misses your feet on its dirt.

The flowers miss your nose in their pollen. 

The river misses your body floating atop.

Even the wind misses blowing your scent throughout the Earth.

The world is waiting for your comeback. 

Do it the favor and come back.
