I have felt so good, so good,
so excited and passionate and free
and I feel like I can express who I am without having to stifle anything
for me, joy is expression- joy is freedom
I can run and yell and scream and the intensity of my emotions is not bad
I do not mean to dance through life,
I mean to care, passionately, completely, I do not want to skim the surface
I want to laugh and act ridiculous but I want that to be acceptable
I'm tired of people telling me to chill
because chill is a terrible way to go through life,
refusing, refusing, refusing to live and love
saying 'just calm down'
because this wild life is not calm, it should not be calm
you have only a hundred years- probably less
so live them.
