Once In A Lifetime

Been a while since I’ve sat down,
Ate some food and thought about my life without a screen in my face to help me through my meal.
But,
What other choice do I have?
Can’t force anyone to love you.
Can’t force anyone to make sure you are okay.
Can’t force anyone to smile towards your face instead of laughter over an obvious crack in a pair of lenses overdue for replacement.
Yet,
No matter how forgettable I am,
Unimportant I may be to others,
I’m still blessed with the opportunity to smile at another.
Why waste what little time I have on Earth with a crunched forehead leading to a crease in a character who stands for love?
Why not let it go,
And,
Be okay with who I really am…
For once?…
