It's Such A Messy Life.

i need to write a poem
because
i have so much to say

i used to think life
was found
in effortless grace

in beauty
in perfection

a selected few
who found the life
i sought

but through something
like a changing life

a few tears
fears
joy
and bravery
i tried

i see
i think i see
a little truer
uglier
simpler
better

it's a messy life i live
mistakes
and broken dreams

words toppling past
the fence of sanity

smiles misplaced
and candy thoughts

these are life
it's a messy life i live

but maybe
messy isn't so bad
