Charlie Brown

Every day, I spend laughing, smiling.
Just existing and 
Every night, I spend slowly
With the remnants of pain.

I don't leave it in the corner.
I don't try to forget it.
I don't try to ignore it
under the stone of denial.

I take it out carefully,
sit and look at it again,
brush off the unsettled dust,
and look at it honestly.

I examine the pain.
I examine what remains of me.
I try to frame my new me.
The old me is gone.

I read a Charlie Brown,
Effortlessly I smile wide.
I live again.
I think of reading again.

I will, one day, painlessly smile again.
