failing, falling, fleeing by Kalikala Smith Today I was told to face my fears, and I was told to be strong. Don't you think that I would if I could? make this all go away, with one simple smile every morning... wouldn't that be wonderful? Today I was told that it wasn't my fault, that the only thing I needed to own up to, was my own happiness. What if I can't be happy yet? make this all go away, with one simple cheery thought every morning... I wish it was that simple. And today I realized that my life is, just one big something... and that I really don't know what I'm doing, and no one else does either. There is not one single person on this earth that's got everything figured out. And that, is reassuring. That, is what could make me smile... I'm not the only pathetic one. 02/22/2004 Author's Note: rediscovery of oneself...

By the time they figure out just why we should be happy, as if putting on as you say a smile, was condition to the commencement of that happiness, yet I have been most glad when I wore frowns although not exclusively. I suppose ultimately we feel what we feel and so glad we have this vehicle called poetry to express our thing, whatever that may be.
