Sometimes
When I read
The work of a person in love
I realize
How dark my personality really is

I have nobody I love
Only people I admire
No person to share a bed with
Nor a loving family
I feel alone

But
I like it this way
For now at least
It gives me an interesting perspective

So when I see a love poem
Or a happy-go-lucky poem
I wake up
And realize that not every poem
Has to be so dark
Or mysterious
Or have a serious theme

Sometimes
A poem can simply
Be
Happy
