Not Everything is Awesome

Not everything is awesome

Not everything is good.

The darkness closes in, 

I put up my hood. 

Breathe in, breathe out

let's start this from within. 

My heart replays the rhythm

I peak out again. 

I hear a child laughing

I see today's sky, behold!

--a moment, a cloud, 

a story being told. 

The present is my present

the bird's chirp to say, 

"hey"

Everything is awesome if you let it.

It's a game you've got to play.

Everyday's a new beginning

the awesomness is begetting, 

only you decide if you're winning

& it'll still be beautiful either way.
