Get Emotional

"Be happy!" "Smile more." "Be friendly." To be giddy, joyful, dopamine-high It's a great feeling Like you could conquer the world Light on your feet as you start to enjoy the world But then... You have this feeling. Being happy is a perfect feeling But sometimes, when you're alone and it's quiet You wanna do something else Pull out a tear-inducing book Blast the loudest song you know Punch the wall To be happy is to know sadness To know anger To experience pain You can't understand joy when you're always happy So get emotional It's ok, we won't judge You worked hard and you deserve to bask in the thrill of enjoyment But don't neglect your other emotions Without negativity, no positivity. Take a second Cry or scream or complain We listen and don't judge Then smile again And remember It's ok to get emotional sometimes.
