Why is it so much easier to write a sad poem than a happy one? Well, I suppose a poem's like a scar and happiness rarely leaves a scar.
I guess when I am truly happy like, my-jaw-hurts-from-smiling happy, the pen doesn't seek my hand. If we were continuously and eternally happy would there be any art at all?
A happy life would be terribly uninteresting.
This is a happy poem. Not because I am happy but because I am content. Content with the scars I've earned, content with the love I've lost and the love I have found. I have crawled in the shadows and I've walked in the light. Gray is only possible if you know the black from the white. I'll tell you a secret. Never mind, it's mine to keep. This is a happy poem.
