Smile

This smile, a long time returning
it went away, took a journey south
emotionally drained, the world carried on turning
now I can feel it slowly lifting my mouth

Was so jaded and drained
the fire inside had just turned to ashes, dust
the shine in my eyes had long faded, I was pained
with time, a kind heart, a change in mind, the fires combust

Humour never quite left me alone, though it hid at times
now it is budding and growing,  feel it blooming
as my life finds new pieces, new peace and new rhymes

no longer fear the daytime looming

Used to sleep away my days, as if I was dead
asleep in a coffin for a bed
now I want to experience more, do all
want to get out try anything, not afraid to fall

Thanks for reading,

Kyle.
