there is an i in happiness

Mon, 08/18/2014 - 03:17 -- Rendle

Mint leaves stir. i ponder quietly.

To them i am just a girl

Just a girl

With pretty eyes

Sitting alone in a crowded café

 

But inside my mind there is

A raucous celebration

Of life

Of creativity

Of love

 

i smile

With complacency

The world is right

For now

In the moment

 

Life doesn’t hand us lemons

Life hands us struggles

And triumphs over them

 

i do my best as best i can

Life is a concerto

The world is a stage

And i

Am just a girl
