though equipped with
an open heart and
pursuing mind
we still struggle to find the time
before we knew that
these striking hues
only made us blind.
to when white teeth glistened
through genuine grins
and whole, hearty chuckles
instead of only imprinting lines.
i can feel the change
surging through my bones.
a sharp, electric current
igniting and destroying
sour cells and lies
(apathy is not strength).
igniting and creating
new creeds and new bones
that can withstand the occasional
jolts and grits.
though a remedial renewal
of soul came through,
seeing the change and
being the change
will not come quite as easy.

I can feel myself wanting to be happier but actually seeing it and living it will probably come at a slower pace... Also I need to stop using alliterations. Did that make sense? A remedial renewal? like being renewed was the cure lol idk I'm still getting the hang of this writing thing.
