Lately it’s been hard to find
A reason to smile.
Day in and day out I am blind
To the joy that appears once in a while.

Nothing appears to me
To be exciting or blissful.
There is nothing that is worthy,
And so instead I remain wishful.

On the outside I appear awed
And smiling all the time.
In reality, it’s just a façade
While the truth remains sublime.

But every once in a while,
When the time and place is right,
My entire soul seems to really smile
And I know everything will be alright.
Well.... it's almost 2 AM.... and I was going to go to sleep.... but then I just saw my computer and felt this urge to write something I guess.... not my best but I'll admit but that's ok. Not everything we wright is going to be amazing. And in reality, life is sort of the same way: sometimes there are good poems (ups) and then other times you just can't seem to write anything good (downs). But hey, life isn't a mountain, it's rolling countryside with both ups and downs. Ok, I really need to stop babbling...

I don't think you were babbling at all, you're totally right. Sometimes life is amazing, but other times it's horrible. I took special notice to this lately because I have a lot going on right now and it kind of sucks. But I keep hope because I know one day it's going to get better. Even if it takes a while. And I happen to think the poem is pretty good. It's much better than what I've been up to, I haven't been writing at all. Now I'm babbling... Lol, sorry. Good day to you! :)
