One New Day
yesterday i cried
for the person that i was
i was weak and unhealthy,
vunerable, questioning, unguided
i thought i needed to be loved
i thought i needed someone
someone to make me complese
someone to take the pain away
yesterday i cried
for the pain i once held
i refused to let my pain go
such as a baby clutches a blanket
it was something
something to experience
something to comfort me
something to write about
today i smiled
for the person i am now
i'm healthy and happy
i know what i desire
whom i desire
and who desires me
today i understood
and accepted
that it's not always up to me
but i also confronted my faults
and with that
i realized that i have positives
that everyone saw but me
so i smiled.
