The Here and Now

Just a few words 
To express how I feel
Just a couple rhythms
To make my pain feel real

I write,  I draw,  I paint
Just to help me not to cry
I beg, I plead,  I whine
I laugh, tell me why

I'm lost in this world
Trying to find my  place
I long for the moment
To feel a smile on my face

Look out the window, watch the world outside. Look up to the sky, and clouds passing by. Imagine never seeing no more, all the good things outside the door. Tell yourself “lucky, lucky me”, what a wonderful world I get to see.” ... Belle

Beautiful. I have lots of reasons to smile. I am very blessed. Sometimes it just feels rough
