Choose Joy

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

Every morning dawn,
I awaken with purpose.

 

But when the night falls
so does my countenance.

 

When surrounded by the masses,
I can keep my composure.

 

When loneliness creeps in,
I become afraid of what's inside.

 

It's so much easier
to be depressed.

 

I have to choose joy
every day of my life.

 

I have to maintain a smile
and hope it seeps into my bones.
