today is a better day.
not so much an empty shell
but a cracked one with
feelings trickling through,
a lost soul fighting its way
into its
Home.
i’m smiling.
it doesn’t take as much
effort
to move the muscles of my face
and showcase
a feeling
a thought,
i’mย here.
it’s a process
an understandingย and
i’m laughing now.
i wasn’t yesterday.
yesterday i was an insurmountable
obstacle,
a nothing.
what is emotion, i asked?
it’s everything,
it is experiencing
life,
living
and not only just
surviving.
today is a better day.
