got out of bed,
got out of bed,
still can't seem
to fix my head.
to fix my head.
Tried what seemed
to work before,
to work before,
my attitude
is really poor.
is really poor.
Wishing away
the anger now,
the anger now,
don't want to
spend another frown.
spend another frown.
Perhaps someone
will spare a smile,
will spare a smile,
it will be mine for awhile.
When that smile
has been spent,
has been spent,
all the extras
have been lent,
have been lent,
i hope i can find
one of my own,
one of my own,
so i can have one to loan.
Someone will be
pissed like me,
pissed like me,
mad for nothing,
want to scream.
want to scream.
But i will have a
smile to spare,
smile to spare,
it will help to
ease their cares.
ease their cares.
So scrounge up
a smile for me,
a smile for me,
maybe then i
can be happy.
can be happy.

Gee, that is such a good one that it can stand alone as a famous quote!
As to the emotional heart struggle in the poem, spiritual development is like that: some days you get the bear and some days he gets you. Over time you become more aware of the process to work out of it and eventually both the issue and the process evaporate because you don't need either one. Practice, practice, practice. (sigh)
Put some interesting articles about meditations, different disciplines, from various authors on my healing blog (link on The Social Poets site)that you might find useful in your journey. I love discovering new voices to promote!
Keep writing poetry! There is something about writing poetry that works both the brain and the emotions to new heights of greater development - latest study.
Ah! Simple and easy to relate! Great job!!!
