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?
