A brief moment

There are days when I forget that I am a real person with feelings and emotions.  The robot I become to go through daily routines drops its facade and I face myself.  It can be frightening.  The image in the mirror is different now, a bit of silver around the edges of a youth that wants to try and run and remember freedom.  A sense of self that is no longer common practice amongst so many.  Much has changed in my life, most for the better, luckily enough.  There are things I do wish I could change aspects of.  Not change completely.  If I did, the person I have become would not be the same one I see. 
I have always been a firm believer in the saying that everything happens for a  reason.  All though it is not always clear at first, there is always a prompt behind the circumstance.  We just need to dig a little deeper to discover it.  Live through the barrage of garbage that sometimes comes along with it, and find the treasure that can be buried beneath it. 

Truth be told, deep down, I can find happiness.  It just needs a little polishing sometimes.
