what if I told you
it is not what it seems
supposing I said
it is not all you believe
important information
difficult to tell.
what if you told me
you think for yourself
09/19/2024 j.g.l.
It is not that you can’t, or
even that you won’t. It is
what it is, whether you do
or you don’t.
Today or really any day, try
to do what you need to do
to become a better you.
I know it seems hard, as
many days seem like a test,
yet despite unlucky numbers,
today you should try to do
your best.
Whether you are beginning
your day, or struggling with
the middle, seek to soothe
your beleaguered soul with
a poem, rhyme, or a riddle.
