PAD Challenge Day 2 (two-for-Tuesday): Free 99 and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
PAD Challenge Day 2 (two-for-Tuesday): Write a happy poem and/or sad poem.
Free 99
Happy is shorter than happiness.
Does this means that it's easier and
quicker to research and find
Like an item... a daily necessity
Try it out..try it on...
for awhile...no hidden fees
Unloosen my lips
For a smile to set itself free
After joy comes back around
peeking at me
because weeping at night
has kept me incognito
In private browsers
browsing every consonant and vowel
vowing to self
that once I find happiness again
I'll never lose it
I'll remain content
in a constant state of happiness
Only if I hold every syllable
underneath my tongue
Spell it out quietly while
Hiding every letter
like a prayer
so the devil can't recite it
Or play hangman and
fill in the blanks of my feelings
with fear that happiness
ain't for me no matter
how much authentic joy
I dispense
Set up to spin off
every time and everyday
I get to smile even
if it's too much
too bold
or too wide
I'll naturally glow in my
God's given sunkissed skin
because it came with
No barcode
No percentage off or
BOGO during life's happy hours
No proof of purchase for internal joy
But it's worth showing off because
being genuinely happy and
Responsible for keeping
my internal light lit is
the best form of self payment
Of inner peace that I don't
Want to have to wait
to die for just to rest in it.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
I'm sad that I'll never
know happy like I used to.
I'll never know
what new memories of you
would be like tomorrow
because I'm surviving off
the old memories without you today.
I'm sad that the world has
gotten sadder too.
Some are breaking as I speak
Others are still broken from last week.
Mourning is every morning and night.
There are no PTO or sick days off from grief.
Just a personal observance of loss.
I wish I could sell tears to the ocean
But can the world afford anymore blues?
