Hello beautiful souls 💖 For my blog this week, I’m going to share a poem that I wrote in 2018 and next week I plan to do a follow up on this poem. I do hope you can appreciate this piece.
I want “Happy”.
And that’s a problem
Because happy is unobtainable.
Well, not unobtainable. More so elusive
Most certainly fleeting
And definitely unkind to me.
It’s with me one minute and
At the first sign of conflict
It ducks out. Vanishes.
Through the back door
And out of my life
Without so much as a note.
No explanation. Happy is gone.
I had happy once.
I think I was about nine
My family and I were
Moving into our own place.
Or…wait. Was it my 16th birthday?
I think happy was there
During my first marriage,
Or maybe during my divorce.
I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure that
I had happy at least once, but-
Now, I can’t find it.
Gone again without a trace.
I reach out, but Happy leaves
My messages on ‘seen’.
And happy looks right through me
When we cross paths on the street.
Like an enemy.
Or worse; a stranger.
Not a twinkle of familiarity
In its eyes, but
I promise you;
It’s not my imagination!
I did have it.
And now..I can’t find happy.
That’s quite a problem.
Until next time beautiful souls 💖💖
