Some Days Like Today

Some days, like today,

I do not wish to dream.

I only want to gaze at the sky,

Trace constellations with my thoughts,

Smile back at the moon,

Caress the clouds with whispers,

And scream my existence into the ether.

Some days, like today,

I don’t have to curl inward,

A fragile fetus of despair,

Cursing my path,

Praying for oblivion.

Some days, like today,

I am alive.

I feel the world hum with peace,

Its rhythm matching the beat of my unburdened heart.

I am weightless, boundless,

Whole.

Some days, like today,

I am truly happy.
