Here is a short poem I wrote that I had in my drafts for a long time, but I decided to post it today. Also, today is my Birthday! πŸŽ‚πŸ’•

A flower doesn’t
Think of competing
With other flowers
In the field…
It serenely blooms
At its own pace
Until its alluring beauty
Is revealed

    Belated Happy birthday. I like the comparison to flowers who just are. You are doing well to reach that understanding at your age. Much of happiness in life comes from being content.

    This was something I wrote hoping to find someone to put music to the Story …..

    Masks of Me

    So many see a Smile

    Thinking is an reflection of joy instead is just masquerading the pain

    Through the faces of many masks to hide the broken remains

    What I use to be

    Will ever see again

    No matter what keep fighting to the end

    No Matter What

    The Masks of Me mirrored what I use to be seems here to say
