Only You
Today,
It’s all about you.
It’s about how you touch lives
with your kindness
your genorosity

and wishing you
the happiness,
the deep contentment
that you deserve.

I am trying
to appreciate the good in my life
to become better at my job

to understand why the fuck affordable housing means i have to live in a shit area of the city
to quell the overwhelming urge...
