Everyone
Is
Happy
But
Nobody
Knows
How
To
Describe
Happiness
“True self-care And happiness is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to not build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.”
***** mouth in class
So crass
In the corner young man

Whistle blowing in class
So distracting
Time out, go sit over there

There’s a snake in the class
I had to tell! I had to yell!!
Sent to the Principal’s office

My “Principles” got me
expelled
What happened to “see something wrong, say something”. There’s kids in this class.
The colors of love
Included in our box
Of life paints
Only get more vivid
Over many days
They never fade
Or wash away
Some days the
Colors are bright
Some days the
Colors more filtered
They are always ready
As if to say
Choose me
From our palette
For us to paint
With fingers over our
Life canvas
Twirling them together
In a structure
Of some sense
To create the priceless
Piece called today
Tomorrow’s will be
Its own
Not so famous
Masterpiece
Other poets use of colors inspired me

I command my voice into silence
      As I watched from the sidelines amused ,
          As I watched grandeur seduced.  
The lure of darkness
Enslaved them in her tight embrace.
         And the lure of enjoyment in it all.
But ,
      I shall resist.
Knowing that  love is light and it conquers it all !
