When Tragedy Strikes
by Daniela Trejos
When tragedy strikes
What do we do?
Do we let an ocean of fear engulf us?
Or do we wake from the horrid dream of reality
In order to cope and survive.
Sometimes tragedy will do us good
It will light up the way for something better
It will bring out the courage and will in us
It will spark a flame of determination to survive in our hearts
At first it will hurt - the pain of losing someone you love
Loneliness, Desperation, Guilt
All of those emotions will overwhelm your thoughts and soul
"WHY ME?"
You say day after day as a sea of sorrow gently carries you away.
But we must accept it - in order to live
We must learn to move on
And cope with tragedy
That will slowly heal as the seasons change
Though the pain is never forgotten, and the wound never healed
In the end, overcoming tragedy is the strongest a human will potentially ever be
