The House I Am

My foundation has cracks-
My frame is bent-
My walls are shaky-
My ceiling is slant-
My floors are creaky-
My roof does leak-
My front door open-
And there isn't a back.
The grass overgrown-
All flowers are dead-
Sidewalk has faded-
My gate is broken-
All friends have left-
I have become-
A condemned house.

Don't be so hard on yourself, a coat of paint, a repair of the roof...all will be well. Namaste.
