Today is going to be a good day, and here's why.

DAY 1, 4/27/2020 monday. 
i have a roof over my head i have a family who loves me, i have friends who are kind and make me laugh when i feel bad. today is going to be a good day, because i have the capacity for emotion, and because i am grateful. it will be a good day, because i will make it so. i will choose happiness, over boredom and will better my life as much as possible. i will improve upon ways that need improvement, and continue to build up my patience, and rid myself of unnecessary anger.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
