Incredibly painful periods of questioning and uncertainty
are hard to overcome, yet simply left behind.
In a chaotic world of hustle, bustle, worry…
I find it refreshing, the joy simplicity tends to bring me.
Misery and woe are tough to swallow,
Yet once digested, they are quick to pass.
With a smile and a few good laughs,
This heavy heart is lifted once again.
The warmth of a loving hug floods over my every inch,
And I remember what it is to be happy.
An embrace that soothes the soul
is perfectly matched by a steaming cup of coffee.
Smoky air and brilliant flair abound me,
Enjoyment will seep through my being on nights like this.
With a sister’s adoration and a friends easing cynicism,
Chuckles and retorts flow from a slightly burnt tongue,
And the night carries on.
I am growing in these simplest of days.
When my worries leave me, I find myself resting easily.
Sleep is rejuvenating. It is not an escape right now.
Beautiful minds surround me in pleasant, light-hearted times,
as weights are lifted carelessly from these once-burdened shoulders.
Feeling ridiculously wealthy with love and buoyancy,
I’ve overcome these hard times so effortlessly.
Unbreakable,
My love for life is unmistakable.
I have found this factuality to be a truly incredible
Chunk of fucking joy.
I am looking down at the world,
With a chunk of fucking joy…
A chunk of sappy, loving joy…
In my heart.
