I looked up at
the starry sky

A lone dying star
has greeted me,

and I promised that
I will see her soon

somehow
all of a sudden
every dream
is about you

I feel as if I were hit by a truck.
Joints aching.
Bones creaking.
Slow movement.
Internally suffer
as I pretend it doesn't hurt.
Tight muscles.
Fake smiles.
Can't get up.
Slowly drowning in my own pain.

Life is full of happenings

Somewhere, a child is born
Somewhere, a life is lost
Someone is making a fortune,
Another is losing it all
Someone is leaping for joy,
Another is wallowing in tears
Someone has too much to eat,
Another is starving to death

Is it fair to say life isn’t fair?

Someone is living in sound health,
Another accustomed to pain
One baby is welcomed into riches,
Another into misery
Someone is living in a peaceful land,
Another in a war zone

Life seems to have multiple sides,
Different folks see different views
You never know what a person
is going through
Our experiences in life differ as
we all journey through
That’s why it’s important to be kind
No one has it all figured out.

I just want my skin to feel like mine again
