Not again!
Why do the people who write-up the daily prompts; enjoy this topic? It upsets me to think of such times.
It hurts!
Well, today’s “365 writing prompts” challenge said:
Helplessness, that dull, sick feeling of not being the one at the reins. When did you last feel like that? And what did you do about it?
What are the chances? Fate? Coincidence? That today’s writing challenge prompt would be about Helplessness.
When did I last feel like THAT?
That was a simple question to ask and not so hard to answer.
TONIGHT!
Tonight, when I got the news that my dear dear dear grandmother passed away.
I felt so helpless,
Nothing I do will make her come back,
Nothing I do will make things better.
I felt so helpless,
just another mere mortal,
having to part with my dearest people to death.
I felt so helpless,
just another mere mortal,
taken over by the unknown
and surrendering to death one day
to join many others before me.
Nothing will help me to feel better and lose this feeling of helplessness.
Maybe only the faith in a better life and a better world after death, and my sheer determination to live my life to the best, (the way I would like it to be) can help me go through it.
