June

June brought on gloom,

Deeper than puddles

After a rain.

Broke down at home,

And at work,

Just the same.

Unable to hide all the pain

I’d had hid

Over the years,

Stored away in my head.

But it’s time to move on,

Rip myself from the past,

Learn how to love

And enjoy life at last.

Remember how to laugh

And smile again.

Hold on to what's good.

Hold on to what's true.

And hope that, in the end,
They'll hold on to you, too.
