Simply To Be

Published on 6 September 2024 at 00:37

I am not who I once was,

or who I thought I could be.

I am simply me.

 

I chased not the stars,

but all the beating hearts—

as they were my stars;

they could be.

 

In depth, and heartfelt,

I broke beneath the wishing well.

All I had was honesty to sell.

I threw in a penny.

 

It grew—my wish came true.

We will make it through.

And there will be happiness,

because I am happy.

 

A happiness that’ll never die,

though will be a test of time.

And we shall survive,

because we are worthy—

 

if we are simply to be.
