Complex and sharp\u2028
\nlike a blade of a sword,\u2028
\nat least for you\u2028
\nmight be just two simple words.\u2028
\nIn many ways has confined me,\u2028
\nat least has opened my eyes\u2028
\nto beautiful things\u2028
\nI once failed to see,\u2028
\nI may not be in possession\u2028
\nof much beauty and wealth.\u2028
\nBut at least this morning\u2028
\nI woke up in perfect shape and health.
\nProblems? Struggles?\u2028
\nat least I’m not alone,\u2028
\nI looked around and see\u2028
\nthere’s so much more!\u2028
\nBut be careful\u2028
\nat least could either make or break
\njust to thrive\u2028
\nno need to strive or seek.\u2028
\nOnce I’d been fooled\u2028
\nby at least’s simple trap
\nSatisfied with what I have,
\nthough I knew I got more\u2028
\njust waiting to be tapped,\u2028
\nFor most part\u2028
\nat least has comforted me,\u2028
\ntime to time, day to day,\u2028
\nAt least I see the clouds\u2028and feel the wind,\u2028
\nAt least I heard the birds sing,
\nswim with the fish scaly and finned,
\nat least I can cry\u2028
\nat least I can sigh\u2028
\nat least from failure\u2028I can still try! <\/p>\n
