Uncontrollable
What if you feel like dancing?
I mean when you’re in class
or standing in a pandemically
distanced line - you know
INAPPROPRIATE times?
And what if you feel like singing
but you’ve been told your singing
is like the screeching of an angry cat?
What if you’re being stared at
because you’re pencil tapping
or head bobbing to a happy tune
that’s only playing between your ears?
What if you’re smiling to yourself
despite having to read 300 pages
every night for homework?
Happiness can strike, like a thunderclap
or in my case - the morning alarm.
I mean, have you ever found yourself
quivering with uncontrollable happiness?
