I picked the petals and cried.
Dozens more bloom – Love.

Events and people move in and out of our lives – just let them all go. Love the good ones, but don’t let your desires drag you down. Dislike the bad ones, but don’t let the pain drag you down. The only thing that remains consistent is you, unless you let them all drag you down.

How many stars will I kill tonight?
Thousands if I let my dark voices in with no fight.
Quel my fears with a lasso I can hold.
Yank them to the side, and focus on the things I can control.
Cherish everything that brings me joy.
Sure tomorrow can be great,
but right now is what I must appreciate.
