I'm Happy


Happiness

 

That’s what you want

-Genuine Happiness

 

Unlaced with sadness

A peekaboo of misery

A sarcastic turn of the cheek

 

No genuine and unfettered

It rings and dings like bells on Christmas day

 

It beams like sunlight on shady ground

It shouts “Hey! I’m Happy Hey!”

“I’m Here”

“Alive”

“Burninggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg”

“Loving”

“Living”

“Unregrettably”

 

My candle flame grins as it flickers

Vibrantly shakes and moves

Wiggles and giggles like tickling the underarms of a baby

 

It spits it sputters a boisterous laugh and chuckle

Condemning all sadness

You can’t get me this time

I’m good

I’m happy

I’m glad

 

No burp, turn, obstacle

No plank, no material can marr this

Mmmm mmm, nuh uh

Not this

 

Don’t you get it?

Don’t you see it?

I’m happy!

 

Where I’m at, where I’m standing, everything

I’m happy!!!!!!! I’m happy!

Overwhelming emotions are quelled by intense reflecting. My writing is the derision from this.
