Graceful anticipation

I believe

That Grace is what I want to achieve

Is there such a thing?

Graceful grieving?

Graceful movements

Graceful comments

Graceful sorrow?

The doctor ordered pills

In hopes it would distill

The emptiness spilling out from within

Sadness, is it a sin?

Down a spiraling medicated vortex

Seeing the reality in this mortal nonsense

Creates emotional chasms

I took charge of my life

To end this strife

I removed this cloud of chemical protection

Introspection without consultation

For the colors to be bright

To feel the light

I must first conquer the dark

“Life is good,” I say aloud

My senses now aroused

There was no need for fear

Strength within me was always here

On my own, I stand and grow

As I feel my energy flow

Music and travel is the remedy.

My voice rises over others as I sing

Life is good echoes off walls with a ring

New friends, new conversations

My character no longer on probation

Sight is now clear

Sunlight comes through the tear

As I sit here with a smile and giggle

My calendar fills with anticipation

My emotions laying down a strong foundation

Fills with dreams

To-do lists begin to burst at the seams

My life has always been giggles and smiles

As now I begin to count the miles
