Here is another "guess the POV" poem. I hope you enjoy it.
The Definition of Whole
There was a time when I lived,
And I enjoyed what life had to offer.
But, in a flash, it was gone,
Leaving me shattered and broken.
The life that I knew,
The life that I loved had ended.
How can I live like this,
A shadow of who I was?
How can I still be me
When a part of me is gone?
But time has a way of moving on,
And so did I.
I found a new place, a home,
And people who accepted me as I am. . .
As if I was whole.
But I can't tell them,
Or make them understand. . . .
Because, you see, what I lost
Is what they take for granted.
And while I again stand strong
In body and in soul,
I know what is missing,
I know what I lost,
And I can never again be whole.
So I live on with my memories.
And, now, I finally see,
I'll never again be whole like I was. . .
But I found the place where I'm truly meant to be.
