somedays we reflect
like our faces in pond water.
we echo
like voices in a tunnel.
we fold
like dough in a grandmother’s hands.
i watch the stars and wonder what life would be
without these experiences
to humble me and challenge me.
i like the struggle
the fight
the battle to make peace with myself once more.
and everytime i piece myself back together
with these band-aids and glue
i feel like life is so beautiful.
i want to live forever in these moments.
i feel weightless
and full of life and love and energy.
i feel more whole than i’ve ever felt before
and it’s beautiful
to wander aimlessly down cold winter sidewalks
and drive down the streets just to look at the lights.
this is when life is justified;
when everything finally goes right
and i can remember why i kept on living
and i didn’t just give up on myself
and on the world.
it’s beautiful
you just have to find it.
