Don't be a diamond; it reflects, not glows.
Become the sun, outshine the stars.

i smile

    (like i’m fine)

        but

each word  
        each look  
              each silence  

          chips away

                and

     i sink,

                 slowly  
                        quietly  
                              invisibly

     until

       nothing.

         just
             me

               pretending
                  to be
                    okay.

Can you hear it loud and clear?
Come closer, over here
It's screaming from within my deep hearts core
Can you hear my silent roar?

go away bad mood
you've ruined the song
I was enjoying that better mood
until you came along
out of the blue
uninvited
to make me blue
the wrong shade of blue
what have I ever done to you?
go away bad mood.

Shine

The sun is shining down on me
and it is glorious.
Reminds me that I’m alive.
I have happiness.
Family.
I am blessed.
Goodness abounds.
Thank you, universe/God/etcetera.
Whomever.
Thank you.
I thank you.
