To be happy

I reserve the right

To be happy

No matter what my outside circumstances are

It is my right

And no one can take that away

No one

And even though

Some days it's damn hard

Some days

Most days

If I just let it be

It isn't

--------

How some people confuse that with depression

Is beyond me

Paranoid

I'm sure I'm being ultra paranoid

But it all seems like a bunch of traps to me

Practically the only thing

Except for a deep breath and the truth

That doesn't feel like a chain around my neck

Is trusting in God

Trusting in myself

Trusting in my heart

Sometimes it's wrong

But I trust that if I let it be open to that

If I let it be open to all the possibilities

And give them al space

I saw this great saying today

"When you love something

You give it space to grow"

Give yourself

And your life

And your heart

Space to grow

And see what happens
