Layers [√]

[ high on serotonin ]

it's Thursday now and i still am not sad

i don't remember having so many good days

i posted a photo on my social media
to freeze my smile as a testimony of my peace

my bed has been nothing but clean and straight
no rumpled sheets of insomnia and anxiety

my eyes twinkle with the warmth
that has evaded me for a long time

i reached out to old and new friends,
opening unread messages and missed calls

i drank coffee without the intention of dying

and i think

the sun shone a little brighter
on my way to work today

happiness, have you come to stay awhile?
