Two Weeks

5 Mar 2020

Two weeks ago, I felt entirely different

I felt sadness and anger and vitriol

Towards a world not meant for me

Towards a world so close to perfect

Towards a world just a smidge off

Today I feel entirely different

I feel happy, feel hope, feel good

Towards a world not meant for me

Towards a world so close to perfect

Towards a world just a smidge off

Two weeks from now, I will feel entirely different

Towards a world not meant for me

Towards a world so close to perfect

Towards a world just a smidge off

These shifting emotions mark the chapters of the day to day

Overall, I seem to be calm, placid, steady

But the day to day isn’t the real me

This uncertain day to day is not what defines humans

Happy one day, in the depths of sorrow the next

Transient emotions come and go

Unchanging in their rapid changing

It’s hard to get to the core of anyone

But the core is what tells the truth

Search within for the truth

Search for the core, and build from there
