Interesting.
                    Such a simple prompt.
Yet such an important question.

     Today.
I am Happy.
     An odd mix of
Simple Nothings...
                                 Yet.
  Longing For More.
                      Organizing Goals.
Finally So.
                   Few kept this Soul
                                          Around.
Now the sound
                           Gorgeously Echoes my Soul.
  I Reverberate.
                  Wonder what will Happen.
Yet still scared.
                     Won't Go Searching.
   Sit Alone.
            But for the First Time
can Stand Taller.
                     Wake Earlier.
Fighting for Something.
              
            "Education" may differ.
Not been Told, Encouraged, Supported.
    To Succeed.
                 Confidence often Falters.

Today.
             I can say I have come an
                       Incredibly long
                                                  Way.
Fought through a
                               lot
             Changed
                             a
                                lot
Gave up
               a
                  lot.
Today I can say
               There is More to travel.
I do not know what the
                     Future Holds.
Today,
            I see my Actions
Design it.

Less things seem so
                       Important.
More things seem to
                       Matter.

Tomorrow...
   I Can Wake.
