beauty and innocence?

[gloryy_days]

Today's been a bad day.  In fact, this week has been a bad week. Nothing seems to be going well for me.  I cry hysterically every single day.  I just hope that someday soon, everything will work out and i'll be happy. While sitting on my front stoop this evening, holding my head up with my hand, staring at nothing, a little boy comes toddling into my view. My  neighbor's five year old cousin. They are having a bbq in the backyard and I suppose he decided to go on his own a bit of an adventure.  Or maybe he just wanted to escape for a while.  Can't say i'd blame him because I do the same thing.  Anyways, he notices me.  Walks over and picks one of my mom's flowers, gazes at me with his big eyes and says, "What's wrong? can I fix it?" and hands me the flower.  I replied, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just sad."  He said to me, "You're lying, nobody's ever sad for no reason. What is it?"  I told him I was fine and he told me don't worry, be happy. Oh I wish it was that easy.  I wish people didn't lose their sweetness, their innocence like he will too someday.  It really is a cruel world.  At least now it is.  It used to be beautiful.  I've forgotten what beauty is.

I think after a certain point, some of us need to learn to love again.  Learn to care again.  Cause we forget.  We forget what's important in life and that nothing is constant.  Nothing is concrete.  Nothing is forever.  Especially not people.  So show the people in your life how you feel.  Not just one or two.  All of them.  Don't push some aside.  Do not leave anybody out.  Don't stop loving for even a second.  Love every minute.  AND SHOW IT.  Let. It. Out. While you still can.
