Are You Happy?
October 24, 2018
On a scale from 0 to 1, are you happy?
The laugh of last spring, from a long-forgotten joke, are you happy?
The taste of salted snacks assaulting your mouth, are you happy?
The warm hug you parents gave you before bed, are you happy?
On a scale from yes to yes, are you happy?
The obelisk of pain inside your mind, dissapointment and grief, are you happy?
The discriminatory eye of your heart, seeing your worst, are you happy?
The bottomless bag you carry, filled with your failures, are you happy?
On a scale from 0 to 1, are you happy?
