I COULD by Joanne Boyle

"I COULD"
by Joanne Boyle

I could cry a pool of tears

when I think about your sorrows.

I could live in yesterday's

and forget all about tomorrows.

I could sit and crumble

when I hear about your troubles.

I could go inside my mind

and find shelter in my bubbles.

Ì could give in to darkness

when I question so much pain.

I could block out all the sunshine

and tread puddles in the rain.

I could lock away my loved ones

when I feel so much fear.

I could lose the sight of hope

but let me make this clear.

The world is bad enough at times,

but at times it's also good.

I turn my head to a future

in the hope I'm understood.

Tomorrow will come regardless

no matter where I hide.

So I chose to face it with a smile

and I find the rain has dried.

Moments walk beside me

and I appreciate that they do.

They protect me from the harm

the storms can put me through.
