Poetry For Everyday People
Happy
When did we get
so far from home?
why isn't here home?
I am trapped for the
moment in memories,
ones I don't care
for, nothing more self
afflicting than reliving
pain?
I guess it's a process
we put ourselves through?
toughening our skin, minds,
I tell myself why are you
thinking about that? just
let it go, hurt isn't a good
tag along emotion,
we've had some damn good
memories, why think of
the bad? it's late and
I don't wanna take that
to bed with me, bad memories
awake is one thing, take it
with us to sleep?
when bad memories get
tough, you gotta get tough
right back with them, bring
some good sex in your head,
think of a friend, a song,
a poem,
write your
way out someplace happy.
