Step one: wake up
Ignore your brushes and neglect your make up
Breathe slowly and taste the air
Gently run your fingers through your hair
Begin your day and take care
Do not pick up the heavy bags you lay at the foot of your bed
Leave yesterday’s heartache for dead
Clutch today in your calloused fingers
The next 24 hours are yours to mold
Skip freely over the worn out roads
Leisurely without heavy hands to hold
It’s up to you to be faded or to be bold
But remember your weary eyed smile is worth gold
It takes time and passion to finally feel whole
But while you try, you can be partly empty, yet still so beautiful
Beyond this Smile
