Little things in life matter

by Jaired A. Burton Smokeyday - Aries

I see no sunshine 
Never notice it and never care about those days
I still smile
On what you call rainy days
Because any day is just another day
I can say I do hurt 
I do feel pain and I do have fears
But it never done shit for me in years
Recognize the better side of life
Hints on better living in most novels
Yeah I’m down with the better things 
My community still drags me back once in awhile
Kicking my ass in many ways 
But I don’t Crum or bow down
I fight even though I seem to lose 
With every punch thrown 
Every knife drawn 
Every gun pointed 
I know I have lost to myself once again
To be a changed man is not easy 
It’s not easy to smile leaving the hospital 
Without revenge and plots to strike back in time
Forgive the world and to forgive myself is a real challenge
My little world and my little life 
Living like it’s all about taking care of business 
Stress pounding like headaches 
Taking it stride by stride 
And odds prove my strides are half successful
I feel somewhat exhausted
I lie down at night and sleep overcomes me
How I love my sleep 
Nothing in this world feels so deep
Then that chance to rest and take it

Reason for writing:

    No Reason
