The Beginning of It All

By Lily Forster

The Beginning of it All is about the
pain,
agony,
loss,
love,
and transformation of life.
this collection of poetry is split into three chapters.
The Hurting
The Envy
The Acceptance
which all go into detail on how to deal with the pain, how to acknowledge the envy,
and how to accept the unknown.
The Beginning of it All takes readers on a journey to find themselves,
in the most bitter, heart-throbbing times.
because there will always be sunshine behind the rain,
as long as you are willing to look for it.

A letter from Me to You

Part 1

The Hurting

ah yes, the soulmate who

wasn’t meant to be.

you know the song that repeats in your head all day?

the song that is just so catchy

yet so annoying because it won’t leave your thoughts?

well, you’re that song.

you start to notice you’re not okay

when showers become tasks

and waking up becomes a nightmare

it’s annoying how badly I want you

wrapped around me,

yet I know it will never happen

            -the thought of reality hurts

why must we hurt

the people who we love most?

            -because everyone hurts me.

after a short while of knowing you,

you became the nothing

when someone asks me what I’m thinking

trying to replace someone

with a million other people

never works

everyone can and will leave

but drugs, drugs will never leave

-mind of the addicted

only to you does my love go out to.

yet it never seems to be enough,

it was never enough for me to love myself
