Thankful Poem (Poetry Blog #14)

Here is my poem for Thanksgiving. Sorry it ends kinda weird, I didn't know how to end it any other way without ending it the way I wanted.(:

Lately, the only thing I want
Is something far away
Made to always be there and taunt
Me into a slow decay.

Isn’t it ironic
That I want to enjoy life
When I am stuck in the chronic
Past causing me stress and strife?

Now when this time of year
Comes around the bend,
And when what I need is near,
I need to pull myself out of this dragging trend.

My family is what I need,
Friends around me too.
It is the wise words I need to heed,
To keep me from feeling blue.

What I appreciate
Is that I am here now.

Life needs to be enjoyed with every moment…
Then the future will turn out well
If I accept what is meant
And do not dwell

And I always, always, always
hold on to what is around me,
Which is love
