Days

This journey has been one I never thought I would take. The ups and the downs have taken me on the ride of my life, and I'm no where near the end. I look around, and I wonder what demons others are battling. I sit here and I watch them as they paint a smile on their face and illustrate words of fiction to make me believe they are 'ok'. But that can't be. Because even I struggle everyday to push aside even the smallest of stresses. That's the only way I've made it thus far; taking it one second at a time. I can't fall behind, and I can't get ahead of myself.

I'm not the same

One thing I know to be true. The person I used to be then, isn't the person I am today. You never really notice the change as it's happening, but one day you look back and realize how different things used to be.

I know a girl

I know a girl. And she is as strong as any river current or ocean tide. Life often handed her darkness, but I never once seen her cry. No one ever knew she was weak. I know a girl. And she was so thankful for all that she had. Every day she awoke, she was grateful. She breathed in her life like the scent of a sweet perfume and examined every shade of color with wide eyes. I know a girl. And she is amused by her own smile.
