Perfectly Imperfect Me

i’ve finally reached the point in my life

where i am wearing a pair of too big socks

and chacos

with shorts i went running in

and a t-shirt with holes.

and the road is open in the car head lights

and my green military jacket

is loose around my shoulders.

then i buy a lottery ticket

and realize that money can’t buy happiness

because here i happy

with midterms in the morning

and smelling of watered down hot cocoa.

~ i don’t regret not winning that lottery
