today is a better day

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.
