the snow covered limbs
\nof the tree in the backyard
\nas they droop
\nfrom the persistent weight\u00a0 ~
\nas I notice
\nthe feel
\nof a long held burden
\novercomes me
\nunlike that tree
\nnext to the block wall
\nI have the choice
\nwhether to change
\nthe normality of my life
\nor not
\n’cause
\nI have never
\nfelt comfortable
\nwith mere existence
\nthe monotony
\nthat comes
\nwith everyday living
\nI have always had
\nthis want to do more
\ngive back
\nmore than
\nI’ve taken<\/p>\n
no need for a pat
\non the back<\/p>\n
and yet
\neven with such intentions
\nthere are days I feel down
\nand as I look out
\nthe window
\nto find
\nsome
\ncommonality
\nthat\u00a0provides
\nreassurance
\nfor my
\ndowntrodden mood<\/p>\n
I must muster the strength
\nremind myself
\nwho fuckin’ said
\nit’s gonna be easy<\/p>\n
come on….
\nget up…….
\nmove………….<\/p>\n
