Honestly?
Life is hard
But I always smile every day
Because I walk home to a place with food waiting
And a family that has my back no matter what
This is life
This is my smile I cant stop smiling
And every time you see me angry
You know you aren’t in my family
You aren’t living on your own
Where is your good life?
What is your own life?
The sun is a factor for sure
But at some point in the day
Every day
I have to breathe deeply and ask myself
Why people want me to stop being me?
This is me
This is living
Please
Start living on your own
Be brave
Don’t take it out on me that you can’t find your strength
Find hope
If you cant find any, look harder
And closer
Look at your fantastic body running itself
Look at the warmth on your clothed skin
Look at the food in your stomach
Look at your ability to stand upright
And walk inch by inch
And see colour
And fly in your mind
And explode in oceans and rhythms
And lose yourself
And hide
And crawl
And collapse entranced
Retrace memories
Laugh at old stories
Feel the wind on your face
Count your teeth
Mix your emotions
Mess up your hair
Face forever
And laugh
This is all incredible.
