Good

Good

how many times can we answer
its too much sometimes right
you don't want to ever say
because good is all I can muster
good might be temporary maybe
besides hello starts dialogue
to really ask "how are you"
the best parts of these 7 days
the not great ups to downs
the different ways to feel

pause and identify underneath
heart and head stay true
what do I show everyday
how do I change it today
let each moment become amazing

waking up phone in hand
one by one apps open up
unlock phone first time
30 minutes later I wake
filled by others worlds
fueled by notifications buzz
forgetting I feel just okay
loving someone else's update
not seeing all my hallelujahs
all the best parts of today

each buzz extends heartbeat
checks feed right away
my inner voice says
what's going to happen wait
keep scrolling passes time
watching it go by quickly
look around just look
post details post pictures
my heart says no
does update get posted

instantly makes you feel better
like that sweater in a closet
a meal that is a love
place phone across the room
charged batteries to last 12 hrs
Am I at 100 percent this second
where do we fall on that
really never spill those secrets
I found good 75 percent richer
amazing 100 satisfactory

it's not the x amount of stuff
it's not typing pin fifty times
it's reading 25 pages tonight
it's turning off Netflix
it's doing what enriches us
it's saying this is what matters
