This is the best thing I've ever written. Maybe not the best in the sense of beauty or writing style. It's a rhyming poem... so it has that little kid air about it.
But the message.
The message is something I need to read everyday.
Happiness.
When you get out of bed
in the brightness of morn
be grateful, be happy
let your whole life transform
get up and get out
do some good in the world
be a person you love
watch the sunshine unfurl
lend a hand, do what's right
joke with your friends
let them love your heart
and the message it sends
and when you crawl back in bed
in the darkness of night
think back on your day
on those things you did right
because in the end
time is a thief
and we lose more than we know
when we focus on grief
be the person who cares
live each day to the max
smile too much, laugh too hard
map out days by good acts
think of all the things you can achieve
and after all that...
just lay there and breathe.

Old. But still applicable.
You (and) Me
Why can't you see
You (should) want me
I look at you (longingly)
But you never see me
Waiting (always) so patiently
For you (finally)
to agree (with me)
that we
-you and me are (simply) meant to be
...can you even hear me?
Hear my (silent) plea?
I know you long to be free
But [I] just [want you] to see
That my heart still beats (achingly)
For you to be
The (only) one for me
And I ask (cautiously)
Why do you always see
Things as "you" OR "me"
As though things won't (ever) be
Seen as "us" and "we"
I've thought of questions (regretfully)
And I (think) 'm (slowly)
Beginning to see
That "we" will not (cannot) ever be
But (for now) I will wait for you (patiently)
And I ask your answer (in complete honesty)
Why can't you
Why won't you
Why don't you see
That out of he, we, and she
You (should) want me.
Why can't you see
You (should) want me
I look at you (longingly)
But you never see me
Waiting (always) so patiently
For you (finally)
to agree (with me)
that we
-you and me are (simply) meant to be
...can you even hear me?
Hear my (silent) plea?
I know you long to be free
But [I] just [want you] to see
That my heart still beats (achingly)
For you to be
The (only) one for me
And I ask (cautiously)
Why do you always see
Things as "you" OR "me"
As though things won't (ever) be
Seen as "us" and "we"
I've thought of questions (regretfully)

You (should) want me.
