As I awaken to the sound of falling raindrops
I’m yet to be happy
I was brought into this world without my consent
Now do I want to leave it with my consent?
Struggling to get out of bed my body aching
I go to brush my teeth as I haven’t in a week
I then go to change my clothes
I walk out the door, no sun insight
Startup my car to go to work
Long drive as usual
I get out of my car and walk into the building
Goto my cubical and start the day
I hear a sound and as I turn around
It’s Emma
She says “New shoes?”
I say “Yeah”
Oh, they’re neat!
“Thank you,” I say, smiling
to myself I say
Is that all I needed?
Just a simple compliment?
