Before

Before I fell off the edge of the world,
I was happy and healthy,
Life happened, I rolled with it,
Accepting what came,
Not questioning what I saw.
Simpler times,
Easy to just go with it,
Finding joy in all the simple stuff,
Day to day joys,
Sunshine and butterflies,
And then I tripped somehow,
Skidded off the tracks,
Hit the lows, and nothing made sense,
Life was pummeling me,
Belly shots, head shots,
It was all the same.
And then, one day, it was like before,
I was happy and healthy,
Accepting what came,
Finding joy in all the simple stuff.
Maybe even more joyous,
It could all go away,
Then it would be like before,
When I skidded off the tracks.
