I have to admit
I am just a bit
surprised
to have realized
I’m feeling good
like a normal mind would,
because I’m happy.
It sounds sappy
to say it outloud.
But I’m kinda proud
about that feeling normal thing.
It beats a depressed hormonal being.
Under the circumstances, given their due,
the opposite should be true.
What with the pandemic and everything,
places closed down under quarantine.
With all the things I’m doing without,
you think I’d be prone to pout.
But I’m oddly at peace and calm
squirting hand sanitizer into my palm.
Doing what I can to survive,
I doubt I’ll make it out alive.
I’ve come to terms
with the deadly germs.
I have found some comfort there,
understanding I won’t be here.
All the loose ends left undone
will be someone else’s fun
to straighten out,
because I caught a bout
of the deadly Covid.
I haven’t flipped my lid.
I have peace and acceptance
of my absence
at a table
where I didn’t feel capable
of success.
I tried my best
to be a good and better me.
It makes me happy
to know my worries won’t last
when I belong to the past.
Because I’m happy, my air breathes with ease,
I’m easy to please.
I’m enjoying all that I got,
realizing I have a lot
more than I expected to find.
Friends are kind
and bless my heart
I don’t know where to start
to show my gratitude.
I thank God for my attitude,
because I’m happy.

Another great write Lori. We all deserve to be happy and none more so than you. You are shining a light in the darkest of places, but that is what a good wordsmith does.Everything we all write comes from deep down inside and is often the trigger that fires the thought process until we commit it to 'paper' and fire the post button. Sometimes it can as you know bee a battle to win the fight and drag it kicking and screaming it being. Yet again you kicked ass ... loved this one muchly... J
