For the first time in a while I woke up with a smile It was plastered on my face Almost perfectly placed Getting my morning routine done Was for the first time, fun And I left with that smile Stuck upon my face
Walking down the street Making rhythmic sounds with my feet I finally felt like I belonged Not a character in some sad song I talked to people without a problem Like my anxiety was gone And I got on the bus with that smile Stuck upon my face
Walking into school Something that is normally a blur Was for the first time exciting The pull to learn enticing I couldn't be any better As I type out each letter To this ode to a day Without any dismay And so I continued my day with that smile Stuck upon my face
For the first time in a long time, I woke up not dreading the day. It was very strange to understand how I was feeling, but I realized it was happiness
