The rain pours slowly outside
tiny drops flow down the glass,
A bright yellow shaped M hangs
outside this place that promotes a clown,
A song by Kesha is being
played on the speaker loudly,
The taste of smooth white cream
paired with the sweet yet salty caramel,
I see kids playing around
smiles plastered on their faces,
I forgot the times which I smiled
like that, no worries or woes,
Nothing to think about but just
having fun and enjoying the time,
I long lost forgotten how it
feels to be truly happy,
I try to be on track with the music
but I can't get in tune,
I try to be happy, but there's a
crack that cannot be filled with,
I try to fill up that crack that
seems like a black hole,
That part of me is something
that just can't disappear,
I've longed for something or
somebody to fill this space,
But as I travel and experience
more, I have come to realize,
That maybe I don't need something
and all the more someone,
Maybe I just needed to let
myself find out what happiness
truly is and how I found it,
As I think about all those things,
the music changed into
something that created much upbeat,
I decided to walk away from
the place and go home,
As I exit the door, I walk through
and I felt the rain sprinkled
over me, and I felt something,
I felt a relief of being able to accept
something you love without
avoiding or rejecting it.
Maybe happiness looms around
each and everyone of us but
we avoid and reject it cause
we don't think that it's what we want,
but dear that's what we need.
