I put my house
in order,
Got rid of
all my trash...
It didn't take
so very long,
I did it in a
flash.
I gathered up
all of the stuff,
That I no longer
need...
Didn't save a
crumb at all,
Not even tiny
seed.
I started out by
tossing,
My feelings of
despair...
Replaced those
with a bag of smiles,
So easy now to
share.
I got rid of
tears, still unshed,
That threatened
every day...
Told myself to
get a firm grip,
And sent them on
their way.
The hurt and the
self pity,
That kept me
feeling down...
Got thrown
out with the other trash,
No longer can be
found.
I got rid of
hate and 'why me?'
For I found I'm
not unique...
Somewhere
someone is hurting now,
Even as we
speak.
I can say 'I've
been there, done that',
I've been
depressed and blue...
But an attitude
adjustment,
Is what will get
me through.
I have put
my house in order,
I
now control my fate...
My future will
depend upon,
How well I
can create.
