joy

here i am now: here

i am, some kind

of almost-happy,

some kind of

no-longer-sad.

perhaps it will

come back, but

i don't care anymore.

i have beaten out

sadness before. i

have outlived

disbelief, doubt,

anger, fear: i can

fight them back

all over again,

now that i know

i'm not alone.

here i am now:

here is some kind

of restless joy,

here some kind

of peace.
