A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

I always try to see the bright side.
Allowing perspective to preside.
Seeing the silver lining in ALL.
Recognizing blessings as I fall.
My positive outlook is in check.
And that's when my life becomes a wreck.
The Universe keeps expanding it
Just as soon as I am landing it.
It increases the intensity
To keep up with my capacity.
Whenever I'm feeling more aware
I have to caution my own despair,
That may be right around the corner,
Because I feel like a foreigner
Trapped within my own body and mind,
Until, at last, I am realigned.

I like how the poem flows. and the last line kinda tells me that the experience is circular; as in, it will go back to line 1. Brilliant
