My Extraordinary Universe
By Carmen

just think
in a world so extraordinary
my whole universe
can revolve around something
a thing so seemingly small
an event with so much impact
that has brought distress of mind
and yet so much maturity
has tagged along by its side
and through all of this
I've made a great personal achievement
a circumstance I'm sure never to forget
though it may fade slightly over years to come
it will never disappear from me completely
for I have too much pride in my sorrow
I've known to much pain to ignore
soon will be my private glory
my turn to smile and silently leave
