Sadness...Please go away!

Because of you...

   I can't smile the way I used to.

   I can't enjoy my time with family and friends.

   I can't focus at work.

   I can't think straight.

   I can't plan for the future.

   I can't see and appreciate the beauty around me.

   I can't be happy.

   I can't have peace of mind.

   I can't live life as it is meant to be lived.

Why hang around?! 

   I don't need you.

   I don't want you; and

   I definitely don't like you.

So please, I beg of you, please...

   .................. SADNESS, PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!

Pictured here are my Dad, Mr. Virgilio "Ver" V. Layco, Sr. and my youngest sister, Karen Layco Mitchell. Sadly, we lost them on Dec. 2011. Losing them both suddenly, one week apart, was so overwhelming that I needed something to release the pain I am feeling. I started writing my poems to express the sadness I've felt since they passed away. I hope you find some comfort and encouragement in reading them. *** Marizel Layco Beck ***
