There

was nothing I could do that day as the words came out my mouth

but, for the first time in a long time I didn’t feel mad at myself and neither did I care.

I just never liked the feeling when someone brings me down even when I’ve done nothing wrong.

Maybe they think they are above me because of my flaws but I know the only way to kill their negativity is with kindness.

Because maybe they won’t feel bad that they treated someone who is human like a child or beneath them.

Because life has a way of showing you that you can’t keep treating people bad and think you will get away with it.

So as I calm down and put a smile on my face, I realize I am okay and that I’m great and no one can take that feeling away.

When I know I’m equal to everyone no matter where they are in their life.

Our situations will always be different but at the end of the day were all human trying to survive on the borrowed time.

How

did I reach pass you and let you slip away

under the cold water your body went.

I thought you could hold on as I got out someone else

that needed help too but with only me to choose from.

I feel like how could I have done this differently that it would end up

with you being around and not freezing.

The answer I don’t know but then someone else reached for you and now you are safe.

But, you won’t look at me for I didn’t choose you and in the end that day changed everything for me.

I wonder where you are and what you are doing now, as you have grown up and that memory probably far from your mind.

But, for me it haunts me almost every night and no matter how I try I can’t find a way to fix the outcome of that day.

Maybe today

Isn’t my day as the words mix all together, and nothing seems clear.

Maybe if I want to, I could blame daylight saving and say I didn’t get enough sleep.

But maybe that would be an excuse or a lie and maybe today just wasn’t my day.

Sometimes, that happens when the day is bright and shiny, and then it just dooms down, and you want to see some light and joy for a moment again.

Did I laugh and smile too much that it physically drained me into being the thing I am right now.

Which is just tired and achy that I welcome sleep with open arms and want to be wrapped in its warmth until it’s time for me to wake up.

I need to sleep for a while, and when I ready, I will come out and be so refreshed like a butterfly out of its cocoon.

And it will last for days, for nothing in this world will be too much for me because it will be so new and different.
