I feel better when I am
By Chelsea foster
Imagine a flower, fearful of the night
Covering up its beauty due to absence of a light
Much like a flower, we tend to hide away
To long to feel better is where we’d hope to stay
And though a flower lacks a heart, our similarities still remain
Though our strongest difference remains in these feelings we can change.
I feel better when I am sleeping, or should I say within my dreams
The place where I go, because nothing is as it seems
I feel better when I am drawing
Like a constant creation of ideas
Such a comfort through expression
That I hope to last for years
There’s many ways and many paths
That one can wish to take
To create a shine within your smile
And feelings afar from fake
I feel better when I see his face,
A friend could not compare
To the emotions that overflow my mind
When I know that someone cares
I feel better when it’s raining
The outside path is lit with light
A place to perfect for one dance,
It would have to last all night
I feel better when I’m on the beach
Or anywhere that’s far away
To take a trip to somewhere new
Is where I’d wish to stay
But not long till I’ve had my joy
From wherever I may Rome
I’ll pack my bags and head on back,
I feel better when I’m at home,
I feel better when I find that glow,
The one that’s all around
The glow that shines with in his eyes,
As the rain crashes to the ground
The shine within that brand new paint
As though unleashed from a darkened dome
That gleam from being somewhere far
Or somewhere close to home
Hidden within the glistening night
Or at the end of that dark tunnel
Even beneath the darkest streams
Or flowing along the runnel
I’ve seen this glow in many places
So I’m certain it can be found
Though it’s hard to grasp its glow
I promise it’s all around
And though it can be hard to find
And darkness hard to fight
Just like the little flower
I feel better when I aim to find the light.
