Poem
I think I'm happy... Introvert at heart I was exhausted but enjoying myself like a good day at the gym I had been participating in some verbal jogging when the jargon interrupted the depth of my thoughts I wanted to go deeper, but the question brought me back to the surface You know, that over used, over played, over copied, get out of jail free question So, how did you feel? A mental sigh fogs my mind, as I wait for the dust to settle, I try to paint what can't be replicated in any art My response a cliche of my own just to joust back In case we're keeping score I'm deadly competitive to a fault, laughing to myself touché Oh, my reply, I almost forgot The cliche runs from my mouth: the words to describe it are lost but if found it would be something like watching the American Day Dream on the big screen except you're the main character When your mood matches the brightness within the sunrise of your eyes and you’re by no means even a little bit of an early bird You hear the sound of vinyl recorded melodies on repeat as you brush your teeth The dust slowly undresses as I then get dressed Looking for the perfect outfit is comparable to searching for these words And don't even get me started on shoes The right pair will have everyone on their heels and can capture the eyes to the soul That day my soul sang solo after the shower rained down cleansing compliments Chanting for an encore The volume of the claps is turned down The dust has finally kissed the ground And for the reveal my reflection sees a familiar memory As my mouth curves like a rose into a shape it hasn't felt in awhile I've been chasing this flowery feeling like the butterfly tasting the flight of bliss I grab as fast as I can, gripping the steering wheel headed to the destination Shouting I'm never letting go As my opposite palm holds her hand I want to stop to picture frame this memory I have to stop and picture frame this memory We stop at the red light, and she asks: can I borrow a forehead kiss I respond: as long as you come back again p.s. this is happiness, it was something like that...
