Been

Been enjoying, 

my backyard

today. 

Been pondering, 

been thinking, 

been wondering, 

about this life. 

Been happy,

reminiscing, 

been sad, 

remembering,

been fearful,

not knowing 

what tomorrow, 

will be.

been asking, 

been crying, 

been smiling,

been confident, 

that all,

will be 

just fine.

been uncertain 

of the future, 

been crazy 

unsure.

been dazed,

been confused,

been heartbroken.

been happy,

been melancholy, 

been high.

been so sad,

I want to cry. 

been alone, 

been with many, 

been quiet,

been loud.

been anxious,

been calm, 

just been…..

Enjoying,

my quiet, 

noisy,

peaceful,

back yard, 

today.
