Essence

I feel lost
And lonely
In the wake
Of today.
In the wake
Of the words
I read.
In the wake
Of how they
Came so swiftly
As if they
Were written
Solely for me.
But that is
Not the case.
We all
Remember
Our mistakes.
But we should
Remember
Our victories
Too,
Because they
Are more
Valuable
To us
And those
Around us
And they
Will leave
A positive
Essence
In our wake
When we are
Someday
Gone.
