Switched Back On

Emotion comes in so many forms, 
Out of nowhere, it simply arrives,
A certain feeling comes over you,
Can’t believe, twas buried inside. 

Now this is fantastic, boy it’s great,
Lost and carefree, again aged three,
Uplifted and ebullient all at once,
Impervious to decadence I’m free.

Nonchalant as a meandering river,
High as a steeple, I’m touching the sky,
Lost in translation, don’t care it’s beautiful,
Chilled out so much, please let me cry. 
 
Dormant inside, but now wide awake, 
Got out of bed, and ain’t going back,
Happy tears, where do they come from,
Caught in this moment, a wonder attack. 

Thank you so much, I needed release,
Been down in the dumps, far too long,
Its amazing how that switch just flips,
King of the world! pumped up and strong.
