Happiness anywhere
This is from a couple days ago.
Why so sad, Sarah?
Why so sad?
What is it that has sapped your soul
blood sugar?
hormones?
How crazy is crazy
How crazy is normal
How normal is crazy
What is normal
is anyone it?
I drip drip drip
like an old leaky fountain
like the disposal I need to repair
like the rotten corner of the house
the mold takes hold
it grows and grows
peel back my skin
you’ll see green speckles
underneath the paint
How exactly does one
care
what is motivation
and where can I dig some up?
What if
I have no bootstraps
what if
there’s nothing I want
nothing I need
nothing to say or do
nothing matters
I dwindle
nothing matters
I fade
nothing matters.
still I face forward
and chip away
at the time left to me
what future is worth living
what past is worth the struggle
I don’t like struggle
so I just
float
and watch the world move forward
I am pushed by the current
I could have anything I want
but I don’t want anything
once in a while I feel passion
I am mad with enthusiasm for life
It’s all about smelling the flowers, enjoying the sunset
spending time with family
eating out with friends
cooking, drawing, writing
passion is a flame
it needs fuel
it needs blood sugar
it needs dopamine
even then I don’t know what I want
success is vapid
money is boring
all I really want are the people around me
low expectations
already met
now what?
welcome to my first world existential dread
aren’t we pathetic
Who can find happiness during constant peace and prosperity?
What strength! What fortitude!
One who achieves this feat
can find happiness anywhere
has conquered life
I hope you’re not looking at me???
I’m feeling irresponsible today, so here’s something super random which I have nothing in the world to do with, except it makes me happy.
The Human Trap
Something about the coziness of a sleeping cat is sacred
And must not be disturbed.
They get miffed if you have the gall to wake them up,
Because they know the natural order of things.
I can wake a human with cold conscience
But a cat?
Curled into a warm ball,
Melted into my lap,
With an upturned happy little cat smile.
Impossible.
I’ll just have to stay here forever.
Nothing is as important
As letting the cat sleep.
Wrapping paper shreds
Wrapping paper shreds
Exploded packaging and
Happy hugs, chatter
Each left with a little sack of
Their own to take home.
A hundred tiny lights shine
Gentle illumination
Everyone’s smiling
In pools of mixing color.
Santa is watching.
Hugs all around us.
Life has slowed down for today.
Have some more egg nog.
I almost forgot
To get out the apple pie!
Let me help you with that.
Thank you.
