i get high on love and travel with happy pills

how do people know
when if they're absolutely in rotting misery?

i wish it'd be possible for us
to measure the exquisite feelings
of raw emotions
and let us know
when it kicks off

i mean, what i'm trying to say, i suppose,
is i won't stand motionless
as life passes by
nor become a predator of my mind
none of us should

again, do tell me,
how do people say
when they're feeling like
leaves
floating around
the ocean
and nothing else?
