It takes time
“Healing”
Sitting in my head thinking of my past
There are many days that could pass
Worrying about what may or may not last
___________________________
I rarely got time to enjoy my time
Except when I was with whom is family
I like to enjoy the moment before it’s past
__________________________
Many times I try to be the best of me
Though mostly I felt the worst of me
Thinking of all that is, may be, and last
__________________________
I get better as I get together with others
Because helping others is how I get better
Trying to be better than my past
__________________________
Every day I fall, I get back up, it hurts less
Less than yesterdays, hopefully not more
The morrow, I hope it will not be my last
__________________________
I try to occupy my time with kindness
Maybe climb a little higher in spirit
These days I’m living for a better past
Hoping I got many more until my last
