It’s Tuesday

A Poem About My Day

Cozy but getting myself on my feet

The taste and smell of fresh coffee 

With donuts! Two not one 

Seeing an episode for the first time 

And actually liking it

Applying my makeup with precision 

Gotta have them perfectly drawn on eyebrows

…Am I right?

Being driven somewhere I’ll be heard

Learning things I’ve needed to know

For God knows how long

Returning home to a home cooked meal 

Waiting just for me

Smiling without needing to think about it

Unlike other days

Feeling useful by helping my little sister

It’s good to be alive

Eating a red tamale as my nighttime snack

Getting a really nice hug

Walking back to my room 

With great music playing 

To sing and dance to 

In ways I haven’t 

In quite some time 

Typing, typing

Looking forward to tomorrow

And yes, it’s true 

Life is worth living.
