I don’t want to hold you
Completely accountable
For being a bad friend
Like you left me in the
Lost and found bin
Attempts to steal back
The happiness from life
I’ve worked so hard for
Wrap it in a box
Put snow on top
And gift it to myself
I’m still learning how to
Appreciate what I’ve
Been given
How to be living
People come and go
But we are with ourselves
For the whole road
And this is one thing
I am most interested in
To keep aliveness
Breathing into my
Walking being it is
The capsule and the
Temple I must sweep
Everyday and the moon
That I must dust
And the sun that
I must shine
The only friend to
Hold accountable
Is mine
