“If you focus on what you left behind, you’ll never be able to see what lies ahead.”

Remi Gaillard

Shadows lurk in the bustling crowd,
I stand alone — I can not talk, am not allowed.
In the distance, their steps glow and grow,
With fading shadow, I watch them go.

Through tearful days and lonely nights,
In this quiet moment, I reminisce.
I wonder why I can’t reach so high,
A pang of jealousy I couldn’t deny.

My insecurities rise like a tidal wave,
As I struggle to find the courage to be brave,
For does one who left — may not understand,
The bond we had, was made by hand.

Life is not a race. It is a winding trail,
In whispers of the wind, they reappear,
The laughter we shared, the dreams we spun,
Now echoes in the dark, one by one.

Some wander alone as the world conspires,
They grapple with grief, not easy to hide,
I ask the star, ‘Am I doing right?’
But the twinkling lights do not reply.

I yearn for a moment of familiar ways,
Though sadness lingers, I will find,
Why am I alone and left behind,
Leaving me in space, I wonder why?

In the tapestry of life, we all may find,
A moment of doubt, feeling left lost and found,
In the end I will come to see,
The strength and potential within me.

Being left behind does not define,
I will take each step no need to hide,
The path to healing my heart and mind,
With courage and grace, I will soar so high.

With each sunrise, new hopes begin,
A worth and potential that is truly mine,
My journey is unique- I am one of a kind,
To feel the light of brand-new life.
