Oh Lord filter my thoughts
I see her with child
And I ask
Why her and not me
I hear a baby cry
And I ask
Why hers and not mine
I see happy people
And ask
Why them and not me
My thoughts of loss
Are driving me to the rugged wall
I can feel insanity
Trying my patience
Haunting even
These thoughts
Keep burning my brain
Eating my cells
Without wanton
Filter my thoughts
I just want to give in
To thoughts of hopelessness
And let life
Take me where it wants
Or is it where I want

Grief Poetry 
I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine your pain. My pain and grief is completely different as yours as I have severe Bipolar disorder and lost my identity and about 20 years of my life. I have grieved the loss of my life and identity and all I loss with because of my illness. I could never imagine losing a child. I am so sorry and my heart aches for you. You are very strong and writing is a great idea for an outlet. Plus, your writing is beautiful and inspiring to me. You are very gifted and talented writer. Praying for you. Hugs and blessings to you.
