I'm trying to open doors that lead towards a smile <br />Let me be reminded of the glories this life has to offer <br />These four walls have me beating at my heartbeat <br />Trying to tune in on my rhythm <br />The women I have loved have moved on <br />No matter where we stop the days carry on <br />Most times the world doesn't offer tissue for your tears <br />Which is why you must keep cups of joy within <br />And when times become morbid reach in and start sipping <br />Keep the essence of inspiration <br />Don't lose yourself to negative thoughts and broken glass<br /><br />Angelo Velasquez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/keep-the-essence/
