today is all i have

time cannot be bought

all of my memories

i see what you do not

 

what a suite life

it was so easy

ice cream trucks

getting cut by a freezie

 

drawing squares on the sidewalk

chalk in my hand

i want some grapes

there's a lemonade stand

 

sitting on a toilet

drinking some yop

singing carly rae jepson

it's still a bop

 

fast forward to the present

nothing is the same

i graduated from college

now i'm playing a game

 

i'm searching for a job

not having any luck

i'm just trying to survive

holy shit, what the fuck

 

my vision is foggy

dilated by haze

how do i leave?

it's a never-ending maze

 

"i'm good"

"i'm fine"

we are all the same

we all use these lines

 

everyone is insane

losing their minds

we're all a bit broken

so always be kind

 

when people smile

i smile too

not knowing why

i just do

 

it's the little things that matter

making the most of it all

seeing the good in the bad

laughing when i fall

 

the sounds of laughter

the sight of love

birds & planes flying

in the sky up above

 

a billion pockets of light

bursting like bubblegum

dripping golden honey

my hair shining in the sun

 

freezing in the cold

snowflakes falling down

shimmering like glitter

making angels on the ground

 

sparkles in my eyes

talking to the moon

staring at my ceiling

alone in my room

 

drowning in serenity

a blanket of tears

happy to be alive

i'm facing my fears

 

doing what feels right

following my heart

having trust & faith

walking through the dark

 

if it's meant to be, it will be

i have no doubt

in perfect timing

things will work out

 

whatever is coming

i can't wait to see

beyond everything imagined

in my wildest dreams

 

constellations & planets

countless stars in space

every day i thank god

for his everlasting grace

 

at the end of the day

when i go to sleep

i think about the moments

in a bottle i keep

Thanks, Tim! I love how things unsaid can be written in poems, and people can relate to our words in more ways than we could ever know.

The imagery and vulnerability of honesty in looking at life represents a reality that most of us must deal with. We are more in common than we are different, it just doesn't always feel like it. Good poem, Kaitlyn.
