Heavenly Things

Heavenly Things

Eggs for breakfast and oatmeal with honey
Buffets with sushi and boyfriends with money
The tranquil room when my roommate's sleeping
These are a few of my favorite things

Criminal Minds and sermons of Joel Osteen 
Girl with Down syndrome crowned Homecoming queen
Waking up to coffee in the morning
These are a few of my favorite things 

Sparkling water and artificial sweetener
Playing Scrabble and California weather 
A seat in the bus where no one's sitting
These are a few of my favorite things 

When my brain rings
And the day stings
And the clouds are dark
I simply think of their silver linings
And I don't feel so stark
