I am among you.
I read your poems,
as you read mine.
I give my likes
just as everyone else.
I re-post the ones i especially like
just like you
but see,
I have only just now begun to realize,
that I have neglected things.
I have neglected the bright sky outside.
I have neglected true meaning behind words.
I have failed to show my gratitude for life
I know I write dark,
that won't change
because that is how I feel
inside
But,
It doesn't mean I should dwell in it.
I need a shift.
I need to look at the bright side of things.
Like the fact that I am not living on the streets.
Or the fact that I am not a spawn in war.
I should be happy that I can (usually) eat every night,
and that I have a school that will make me learn
I have only yet to express
how this world can be so dope.
I haven't yet spoken
on my affair with the moon,
and her beauty.
I haven't talked about the grass,
and the stars
and the animals
that truly make this world what it is.
I haven't spoken about the beauty of you
in a long time.
I haven't opened the window
and let the soothing wind
blow kisses on my cheek.
The small things in life
deserve a big shoutout.
Earth is a beautiful place,
why do we feel so dark
well,
I don't know.
All I know,
is that it is time
*to have a good day
