More Than Just Some Smiley Face

Once upon a time,

the invention of happiness came about.

It washed over my world like a shower

and I discovered I really had no reason to pout.

 

 

Welcome to Rebekkah-stan

where I have every reason to say “I can

be anything I choose to be and have every reason to keep living!”

And life continues with absolutely no plan.

 

I am free to be who I want to be,

and I am free to go pursue what I want to pursue.

Here, I am not trapped by words, walls, or borders…

Today could have an adventure, if that’s what I want to do.

 

And adventures? They happen.

It’s nice to break the “normalcy” mold.

These stories thicken life’s everyday plot

and make it improvised, perhaps even, unrhymed.

 

This life has meaning with optimism

for more people than just I.

Ever notice it’s contagious?

It’s just an awesome thing! I don’t know why!

 

So my rocking world is awesome you see,

because I’m free to be the person I call “me,”

and I can channel my energy toward what others don’t go near.

And all the while, I’m wrapped in laughter and prosperity.
