Maybe it's my dropping eyes,
Tiered from all they've seen
Or my aching legs,
Sore from all the places they've explored

Maybe it's just the fact that I have a smile
And it's no longer a imposter on my face
Like I'm meant to be happy,
Meant to have enjoyed the day

For the first time in a while,
I have lived my day
I didn't sit there writting about others,
Instead I was the center of my story

For the first time in a while,
Im not ready for bed,
Because I want to be done with the day
Instead I'm ready,
Because I've had a fulfilling day,
And I'm ready for another
For a long time I didn't think I was meant to be happy; to have a day where I felt at peace with the world. But after today I've realized that maybe I am meant to lead a good life, to go to bed happy. These are the days you realize anything is possible.

The Ten Word Wonder
Lush green grass
sliding between my toes
makes me smile

I walked outside and saw your face
your head was red like a beet
you had a hammer in your grasp
and I saw you stomping your feet

I watched you close for a minute or two
you really didn't look well
so I decided to do the right thing
to take off and run like hell

But unfortunately you were able to see me
you turned and took off like a shot
screaming like a banshee
your temper was really hot

I ran and ran until I fell
I think I even scraped my knee
Got back up and ran some more
Cause I didn't want you killing me

I ran all day and into the night
I didn't even stop to ***
Trying to figure out
Why you were chasing me

Something was off, this wasn't right
nothing was really like it seems
I heard your voice "wake up wake up"
I was having one of my crazy dreams

Death
is not
the end

at least
not for
me...

The Ten Word Wonder
The sun
came creeping
over the horizon
without my permission
