The Softer Side of Jack

Everyone really knows me As always being loopy and light Although I can be serious at times Silliness always wins the fight It's really just quite recently My happy side has become king I used to get quite emotional At the tiniest little thing Which one of 'em would I rather be A tiny wee bit of both The romantic side is warming But I like my happy side most Perhaps it's just a cover up So my feelings don't get hurt Joking around, making fun of things As life throws out its dirt How many people can really say They're happy within their skin Well I hereby make it known to all I'm the happiest I've ever been © Jack Ellison 2012

It makes me smile to know that you can find happiness in life, no matter the circumstance. That takes a lot of strength for some, but for you it seems effortless! I like all sides of you that I can see from your work thus far. I enjoy finding the beauty in your heart Jack. You're my sunshine! Always, Laura

Good insight. I have never used 'Loopy' in a poem before. It is fun to read poems by people that use different words. It gives me a fresh outlook.

Everyone has a "mask" Jack, - all feel grief and sadness - but for the most part we have a nice life - if we sit down and cry - everything becomes even more sad - cry if you MUST - SMILE if you wish. Have a lovely weekend Jack - hope the smile wins!! oxox love Anne-Lise :)
