Hope Out the Window

Today is different now

I titled my poem first

I titled it before

I even wrote one verse

I don't like to be constrained

By rules, 

They only suffocate

So I'm sorry if you're choking on my words

But I can't have rules on my blog

It just hurts

The sun's coming out soon

But as of today

I'm happy with the rain

You should see me dancing in my room

If it would make you laugh

Gosh, I'd like you back

This is beautiful, dear, this life that we have

And I'd like you back

If you could come back

Just come back

Oh, it's raining outside

But my sky is big and bright

And as of today

Good things, my dear,

Are coming our way

Even in the rain

Good things, my dear,

Are coming our way

There are pictures of you on my bucket

But unaware,

I put them there,

And didn't know it was you yet

I've said this before

And for

You I'll say it again

God foreshadows

Even in the littlest details

Like a sticker of a boy fighting pirates

On my white Home Depot bucket

Little girl, little girl,

Tell me you still love the world

And little girl, little girl

Hold to your hope,

Hold it secure

They say, 

Oh they told,

"You should not have to rip yourself to pieces

"To make others whole."

Can we make an exception here?

'Cause I hear "should" and "should not"

Boy, I hear them a lot

But it never stops

Me, I'll never drop

As of today,

I'll break the should's and should-not's

As of today,

We'll all be okay,

And as of today that's a thought.
