Happy and Well

Happy and well
I thought I’d never tell
my mother that I’m grateful to be alive.

Through pits and patters
my heart has shattered
and has led me to get in the car and drive.

A fresh start is what I’ve desired
Using escape to ascend higher
For I have so much hurt in my archive.

How lonely this lifestyle has felt
All of my emotions left un-dealt
I’m ready to do more than just simply survive.

People, places, things, oh my!
My personal community needs to multiply,
because this lonely soul deserves more than deprive.

As I sign up for real intimacy and vulnerability
I develop this healing sense of security
For I am beginning to truly thrive.
