But It's Not Over, Not Yet
At the moment when endings feel final, and the weight of living becomes almost unbearable, this poem pauses, stumbles, and continues—because it is not over, not yet.

Things are changing
People are leaving
Doors are closing
I am left standing alone again
It is heavy
Life is ending once again...the direction of it
The things that I thought it would be
It feels like I won't recover...that this is the end...
But I always do
I always come back stronger
With every heartbreak, disappointment, and every ending
I get back up and begin again
I'm tired, though
And with every new beginning, a little more weight piles on my heart
This is not the end, it's not even close
I've heard plenty of opinions
Like I would listen to any of those
But my heart, now that is tough not to listen to
Or perhaps it's my head
Maybe it's my soul
Either way, one of them needs a break
It's just gotten so heavy, the weight
Sometimes feels like it's more than I can take
Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip
Whew, that was close
Almost lost my way,
My footing in this place
But it's not over, not yet
So much to do
So much left undone
But the weight....the weight is just so much to take
But this is not the end, far from it
I will get back up
I will begin again
I will brush off the hurts and the pain
And carry the weight in a new direction
It's not over, not yet
