'From Spark to Embers'

I chose 'From Spark to Embers' as the first poem to share because it resonates deeply within me. Its words feel intimately familiar, as they echo my own thoughts and emotions.

are you happy?" is such a difficult question.
I always say, "yes", because I have friends
I laugh at jokes, I go out and have fun
my life isn't as bad as it could be, and I don't
have terrible problems, it could be worse.

...but then, one night at 3AM when I'm alone
still awake, lying in bed, thinking about life
I find myself crying my heart out,
Suddenly I am convinced that nobody likes me.
I feel horrible, and I question everything I had...

and I don't know if I was ever happy at
all.....

Do not allow such thought patterns to seize your attention. They will feed on themselves and grow.
