And to feel happy

And not just seem happy but feel it all the way down to your soul.

A feeling that everything is fantastic and okay even through the stressful moments in life.

To smile with no care in the world, surrounded by like-minded people who enjoy feeling and expressing themselves as you do.

A place of peace and hope that is small now, but your hope will grow more significant as the people around you stop and enjoy the little things more.

Look around at all that I have I am grateful for it all.

And there you are, complaining about every little thing.

And all I want to do is walk away and let you live in that unhappiness.

And I do until we meet again, and I shake off your negativity and surround you with praise and positivity, for life is too short to stay in the darkness when everyone around you is trying to stay in the light.

Alive and living day by day with a smile on my face, even if there is a moment when sadness washes over me.

I collect myself and return to my center, the very meaning of me, the side many don’t see because my walls are always up.

Even when I let you in one door, another stays locked, and when you’re in, you break that trust and respect.

I’m sure you know you are locked out for good, and the only place you can go is in the lobby, and in that lobby, you will be lucky if you ever see the whole me again.

Too late to say something like the world and its unexpected hell-storm in the middle of 47-degree weather.

As we all stand by or drive by thinking, is that rain and snow.

Another unexpected thing is thrown at us as we continue to wish for warmer weather.

But it all seems like a dream as the numbers continue to go down, but soon they will go up. But how long will that last the feeling of a nice breeze and just-right temperatures?

We will be too busy like gold locks trying to find anything that feels just right for us.

An endless battle of satisfaction will continue through the seasons of our lives.

Rainbow, you shine so brightly in everyone’s eyes; you are the hope we look for on our stormy days.

You are the one good thing that keeps coming around.

Even when you are not around, your light stays with us.

Leaving positive energy all around that we chase it sometimes to be on the same high as you, for we don’t want to complain anymore. We want to be bright too.
