Today

I feel free.

Free as a tree that's not moving

As someone that's bottling up

I feel so alive when I'm dying

I'm so happy,

But not.

 

I just can't wait to open the door

To show everyone an empty room.

It's so exciting to see people learning

About life and its little mishaps.

I know it's weird

A little bit strange

But no one can see as I laugh

To myself

And I would only laugh harder

If I could see there shocked faces.

It's hard to say that your heart is breaking

When there's a smile on your face.

It's hard to see sympathy when you're holding back

Tears you've been shedding

For weeks.

I know it's hard telling people 

How to turn life away from hurt.

Why can't we show others how to be

Deliriously happy?

Although, I know how hard it is to get people to listen.

But you'd be surprised what people are willing to do

To be able to say:

 

I feel free

Free as a bird that is flying

As a couple that's falling in love.

I feel so alive when I'm trusting

I'm so happy today.

I'm so happy to dream.

 

I'm so happy today.
