light·heart·ed ˌlītˈhärdəd/ adjective (of a person or their behavior) cheerful and carefree. I haven't been myself for a while. I try to remain happy, but I guess that life has a different idea for me. So here I am, writing poetry, trying to express myself. Just trying to make things fit, trying to apologize, trying to make things lighthearted, like they once were.
