I want to write something happy, But honestly, I'm not sure how, It's easier to write when I'm sad, or angry, Easier than when I'm just ok, like now, Right now I feel like stillness, Like a quiet afternoon without a breeze, Like a sweatshirt made of cotton, Like a memory of salty seas, I feel like something restful, Like some great slumbering beast, Like I'm looking to the horizon, Waiting for the sun to break in the east.

O.K.
I want to write something happy, But honestly, I'm not sure how, It's easier to write when I'm sad, or angry, Easier than when I'm just ok, like now, Right now I feel like stillness, Like a quiet afternoon without a breeze, Like a sweatshirt made of cotton, Like a memory of salty seas, I feel like something restful, Like some great slumbering beast, Like I'm looking to the horizon, Waiting for the sun to break in the east.
This came from a conversation I had with my English teacher. She encouraged me to write something happy and I think I halfway succeeded.
