The Beauty of Life is, by Kaela Pierce

The Beauty of Life is

The beauty of life is not free of pain

It is not blissful, joyful times

The beauty of life is found in the pain

It is found in addiction

And it is found in recovery

The beauty of life is found in the transitional period between the worst and the best

It’s in the constant uphill battle

the day to day struggles

The beauty of life is in the monotony

The exhausted kiss on the forehead

After a long day

The beauty of life is in the death of a loved one

Because the grief you feel

Cannot amount to the love you felt

The beauty of life is in the worst moments

And the best moments

Because life is not about joy

And beauty is not about bliss

without you here, I miss you that’s the only truth I can give at a time like this when I walk the empty hallways of… with only your ghost

Little girl, with tired eyes Nowhere to go, nowhere in sight Mom’s busy, arguing over food Dad’s gone, child’s aloof Mom’s on drugs

I don’t believe in soulmates And i cannot pretend to conjure up… But I believe That if an artist painted your sou… Painted my soul

I love you And no I do not love you like a middle sc… Where I think about you all the t… Where I want to spend every secon…

I am not a poet But like a bird knows how to fly My heart knows how to show my love… A love that is an orange morning The sun just over the sky
