Then You Make Me Smile

Sometimes I feel like giving up.
Sometimes I just want to die.
And then you make me smile.
And then you make me smile.

Whenever I feel like ending it all.
Whenever I want to disappear.
Your words make me want to live.
Your words make me want to live.

Don't ever change.
Don't ever stop being you.
You know how to make me smile.
You know how to make me believe,
That there is something to live for,
That there's something worthwhile.

Sometimes I want to self destruct.
Sometimes I just want to sleep forever.
Then you make me whole again.
Then you make me whole again.

Life's a hard slog alone.
But you don't always have to be there,
To make me find a way,
To hold on to life,
To hold on to life.

Sometimes my mind is in pain.
Sometimes I just can't cope.
Then you make me smile.
Then you make me smile.

For National Poetry Day - Winging it!

Brain on overtime,
What do I write?
Body on under time,
Vocabulary out of sight!

Do I write a limerick,
Or a little prose?
No it's got to be a poem.
See what style I chose.

This'll be a little messy.
This'll be a little short.
Still it's got to be much better,
Than that poetry book I bought!
