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
Music, Adventures, Travels, Graceful
Anticipation
