My soul is not tortured like the skin of a man alone in the searing heat of the dessert. My mind does not crumble into the rubble of a post war city. My body does not shake it's self into a shaken, splattered, spineless sorbet. I am happy, not like a bird in spring but happy as I can be. My mind is composed, not like a master archer but composed all the same. My angst is not kept in a box of self disbelief wrapped in a ribbon of doubt and despair. I am, me, happy to be me. I have my issues which occasionally need tissues but nonetheless and nevertheless and nonethemore and alwaysthemost I am happy
