my world
had been
so topsy-turvy
upside-down
since birth

but not
too long
ago
everything became
right-side
up

i woke up
the morning
after that
one evening
soaring
through the clouds
with a
joyous
heart
smothered
in pure love
screaming
and
laughing

suddenly,
since that morning
the rain has gone away
the birds have chirped
the sun has blossomed
the roses have sung
the pain has fled
the angels have cried
the demons have died
the anxiety,
oh the anxiety,
has finally
jumped
off a cliff
into a river
of fire
so i’ll never
have to muster
the courage to
face it again

life
became
good
again
once
i
met
you

if only
you knew
how much
i want
to talk to
you
