Taking The Bitter In Life And Making It Sweet

When life is a pressure cooker

We all need to blow off some steam

Emotions that I feel continue to hurt

The emotional pain can't be hidden

You move on because you have to

T.v. is an illusion that is so different from real life

It is easy to want to forget

It is harder to forgive

As my body is rocked by a cold

I am not thinking straight

I don't feel my best and I know I have to overcome

What has been congestion in my chest

As I cough it is a clear reminder of the issues that I face

My nose is sore from blowing it

I am trying to put on a happy face

I can control what happens to my thoughts

Even if my body doesn't participate

I will make it certain

To clearly understand

I am in charge here

I call the shots

I will make the best of every situation

Hands down I am in for the long haul

I may be struggling

I don't want to be down

I will not think of this moment for long

I reach into my bag of tricks

I pull out of my pocket

A real dancing clown

The energy that calms my nerves

I could just be aggrivated and really pissed off

Instead I chose to laugh and play with my clown

Who is really my kitten in disguise

Who inspires my as she bites me on the chin

She hops on my lap and gets in my way

Purring like a trooper

Who knows what she wants and how to get it

She doesn't stop no matter how many times I say get down

She is a great ball of love

Her curiosity is endless

How could it get any better than this ?

All my troubles are forgotten as she gets in my face

She never quits

To show me life is what we have and enjoy at every moment

No matter what the dish

She now lays quietly on my lap

As if a reassurance everything will be alright

Just learn to relax like I do

I am many things

A clown today

A kitten tomorrow

Don't expect me to treat you nice

When I am hungry I will make you forget

All the things that made you well

You will be too busy to see and notice me

As I bite you on the chin and you pull away to yell
