Here I sit so deep in thought,
You may ask, on what? I really can't say,
Is it sad? Is it so deep, that even I don't know?
Maybe it is just the everyday stress of life,
You wonder, where am I going? Where have I been?
What new challenges await me in life?
These are things sometimes we never will know,
What do we expect from life?
How have we gotten to where we are?
There are many stepping-stones in life,
Lessons of life,
But, without these we would not be who we are today,
Some are painful, Some are happy,
Some were meant to make you think,
My life has made many twists and turns in it,
Some maybe I would have not rather had,
But were the hard tough lessons,
The best lesson?
The ones that make you strong?
Sometimes the hardest thing is the deep emotion inside,
It is the joyful side, that so badly wants released,
But seems so smothered held so tight,
When it releases at times it makes you feel euphoric,
You carry a glow,
Your laughter turns to music in your heart,
So why not let it go,
Sometimes it is not an easy task,
The somber world around us compresses it so deep,
You hold back from the joy of being happy,
But we must realize, that this also stunts our growth,
We all need to feel each human emotion that was given to us,
There is so much gloom and darkness in life,
That makes us feel the sadness,
Maybe it is time,
To let our hearts lighten
With the happy feeling that so much want released,
Sadness and depression stick together,
To live in the past makes us regress,
To look to the future may be smoother,
So why not let happy and living join together,
Imagine what that could produce in our life,
The energy it could release in each and every one of us,
The glow of radiance streaming from us,
This my fellow beings I am willing to take a chance on,
A smile is worth a thousand words,
Won�t you show me yours?
