Out of the Deep

i’m going to be honest here

and just say it

sometimes

life

just

sucks

the world is full of things

that aren’t so great

people lie

feelings change

and sometimes?

everything seems to just

c r a s h

and

b u r n

i can’t lie to you and say

that the world is all sunshine and roses

because

well

it isn’t

things happen that will make you feel

as though that beautiful heart of yours

your very soul

has been

s h a t t e r e d

into tiny pieces

and you don’t see

how

you’ll ever be able

to pick them back up

and in those moments

when you’re lying in the dark

and the thoughts are threatening

to choke you

gratitude?

it probably won’t be the first thought

running through that tangled up mind of yours

but let me tell you a

s e c r e t

this world that we live in?

the one that just broke your heart?

it’s full of so many beautiful things

so many beautiful moments

when you’re in the car

and the sun roof is down

and the music blares

as you pass too many trees to count

when you’re so deliriously tired

that absolutely everything is funny

and you find yourself laughing on the kitchen floor

at two a.m.

with your best friend on the other end of the phone

wondering why you’re still awake

but not minding a bit

when you wake up in the morning

and you roll over in bed

sun streaming through your windows

and you just lie there

because the day hasn’t started yet

and you’re at peace

when you turn the final page

of a book that just changed your life

and you sit in a daze

still lost in the world of those characters

that you never want to leave

when you take a bite of your favorite food

when the person you love wraps you in a big hug

when you pick a fresh flower

when a song you love starts to play

g r a t e f u l

so maybe

yes

sometimes

this world of ours

isn’t the happiest place

but those moments?

the little ones, where it feels like your heart could burst?

they come around more often than you might think

and even when you feel

like you’re drowning

those moments

can pull you out of the deep
