Chocolate in the Dirt
When I feel like I am six feet underground
I look up at the sun and say,
This too shall pass.
Then I feel dirt as it hits my feet, legs, stomach, shoulders, arms and face.
So I lie there.
I cry and cry until my eye are red.
There is a dim light when I look up and I cry my last cry,
Then I begin to dig myself out.
I find a chocolate in the dirt.
I eat it.
I see the gorgeous smile of the girl I made.
I feel the warm arms of the wonderful human who helps me up,
I see all the goodness I'm surrounded by,
I see the humor.
And as I continue to dig,
I say again,
This too shall pass.
So I shove that shit right in the ass.
Before I can look back, the sun is once again hitting my face.
