Life So Far

The afterwash of tears
Makes me feel refreshed
The heartache of simple fears
Makes me feel dead

The sweet, young smile
That splays across my face
Is eager as a small child
To finally tie my not-so-white shoelace

I seek even more
Of my dangerous habit
To eat at the core
Of forgetting the rest of this

Each stanza I've written
Has a story it's own
Yet it all ties in
To what my life's become
