At This Very Moment

I can breathe

Countless nights, my lotus position has left me stranded
In thoughts that should have left me years ago

Negative energy has pushed me out the window
Left in fog
Unsure of what my next step would be

At this very moment
I am free

I thought I was jailed in pessimism
Never understanding where the good in everything could be
Forgetting that positivity existed

I was broken
and my shattered pieces landed in everything I could not change

At this very moment
I have forgotten about yesterday and realized that today is more precious than tomorrow could ever be.

Pockets full of lint instead of green  have forced me to appreciate blue skies
And friendships full of lies and deceit have forced me to come to terms with the truth inside of me

I have forgiven what my enemies have done
forgotten what my enemies have said
remembered the places my lovers have kissed
and embraced the hugs they have given

At this very moment
I am happy in my own skin

Enjoying my own laughter and accepting tears of joy

At this very moment
I am living in the moment.
