Today I Cried for My First Time in Years
(I wrote this after a very emotional time in my life. This style of poetry is uncommon for me to write. Looking back on it, I am amazed that I wrote it.)
Today I cried for my first time in years.
I am not talking about the crying that is invoked by an injury, nor
Am I talking about the crying that comes from a severe loss.
I cried Today because I felt a new feeling. My initial recation to this
Unexplored feeling was one of enlightenment that comes after a moment
Of recognition. It comes after an acknowledgement of something you
Have been trying to come to grips with for the majority of your life.
I cried for my first time in years because I felt the feeling of love.
That is to say, I felt true love for something outside of myself.
I Felt a feeling that made me physically cease my actions and cry.
In The wake of the realizement of my heart and soul, a new peace has
Formed. I have debated this issue on many many occasions during times
Past. It wasn't until now though that I have realized the consequences
Of my actions. I now love something. It is a different kind of love
Than I have ever experineced before. It is different than the love
I have for my family, friends, God, and life. It is different from all
Of those. It is a new kind of love. No one can tell you what it feels
Like, no one can even describe it, and most people never experience it.
Today I cried for my first time in years.
