The Little Things

You're pained?
Cry,
Cry your soul out,
But then try,
Try to get yourself together,
Push away all that pushes you back,
Look for what can heal you,
Each time your heart cracks,
Sounds superficial?
Monotonous, impossible and far,
Each time something drags you back,
With it put your smiles at par,
Why let yourself loose,
Why let yourself sink,
You're vulnerable to fall,
You're just on the brink,
But you haven't fallen yet,
You haven't shattered,
That's the beauty of your heart,
Despite being battered,
It still pumps,
And you're still breathing,
Quit looking back at what you've lost,
Quit weeping,
I'm not going to promise you,
A better tomorrow,
Not going to promise a reward,
For each sorrow,
Because in the end,
Your happiness lies in your hand,
See this hourglass,
It's pouring down the sand,
It won't stop for you,
To get back on track,
So quit piling all your troubles,
Push away the stack,
Live in this moment,
Open your eyes to all you own,
Look at all the little things in life,
All the seeds they've sown,
The smiles that ripe from them,
Value each, not so long will they last,
Together they shall keep you contended,
One by one, in this life so vast.
