I'm Happy

It's a weird feeling

When the world is light, 

Airy

When it all feels alright

For the first time in days, weeks, years

Because you know there is more

Because you know there is always nighttime, even on the sunniest of days

Because you know there is always an exit, even on the longest rides

Because you know there is always a breaking point, even on the most flexible of pencils

Because you know there is always

Because you know there will always be

An end

The darkness hangs around the corner,

A warning 

Your happiness is wary

Freyed

A wise thing,

Tested by time

Tested by the worst nights

And yet

You're not sure whether it's the truth

Or just another lie you've convinced yourself of

"I'm fine"

"I can handle this"

And now

"I'm happy"
