Life is but a roller coaster, jerking one’s experiences and mental head space up and down and all around. There are lessons to be learned from it. There are also times where you just have to sit back, observe, and that’s it. Might not seem like the move to make but accepting what’s before someone is key.

Things can be imperfect, but being a bit grateful is better for one’s aural and mental being than being upset. That usually doesn’t end well. NaPoWriMo helps to expand this idea a bit more.

A Bit Grateful

World’s spinning boastful,

globe’s spinning sved,

wiping off the drops while reflecting purposefully,

about life lessons from happy to dread,

the nice thing is,

been a better season than not,

rot fallin’ off as the pen continues to drop,

time with the right ones

blocking out the wrong,

tiring occasionally but better

than wasting minutes all evening long.

crunching down some moments

like Fall severing loose ends off,

little moments of periphery,

return lessons all along:

bit of gratitude makes one life prolong,

little bit of grateful releases the doom,

little bit of exhaling exhausts the gloom,

room enough for goals and efforts,

no seats for any

wanting hope not exhumed,

risen from the depths of where I sometimes resume,

prepare your aim better,

like Shedeur I’m not one to overlook!
