If/When I Reach Happiness
In a dream I walked across the sea
I found my way to your sinking ship, your fishing boat,
and I calmed the night's treachery [storm]
Just for you.
I am no Savior, nor do I wish to be...
Am I normal?? Am I average??
My mind is bathed in chemicals – natural & synthetic.
Rarely do I possess a firm explanation of myself.
(my thoughts
fears
desires)
(my personality and my definition)
The emotions I feel are in need of interpretation...
to be re-formatted. Thus, I write.
There is a difference between words and emotions-
emotion is basic; primary.
Words are created to describe these feelings.
When I feel sadness, for instance, my face shows it. However, if I am on the telephone with someone (just and example)...
I must use words.
“I am SAD.”
Regardless of the medium used to convey my sorrow, I have found it (sadness) to be the normal me.
Am I normal?? Am I average??
I leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind me as I journey. If/when I reach happiness, you can count on there being a map I have made...
for you and your friends.
Am I normal?? Am I average??
XO

I think this may be my favorite. Or at least in the top three.
