Feeling the warmth of the sun Shining down on my face The cool breeze blowing in my hair Petrichor and the rain Washing through me The taste of freshly made desserts Painting my taste buds with joy Watercolors and acrylics Paintings that turned out decent Sketches not half bad Small smiles on my face Happy memories popping up These things give me hope That there is more More than this numbness I've grown so used to They give me hope that one day I won't have to hurt anymore Hope that I can be free To trust and love Hope that I can live again
