Day of "Happy", Day of Well by ~MagicalJoey:iconMagicalJoey:





Day of “Happy”, Day of Well
~What will life be like?~
2-04-08

Dark are these clouds which now devour me,
Slaying any hope of sunshine.
In days labelled “happy”,
When I turn out well,
These pesky clouds would part,
Would go,
And sunshine could once more present itself
As an alternative...
Sunshine could shine without fear of murder
Before it had a chance to live.

Evil are the thoughts that haunt the caverns of my mind,
ANTS...creeping through their dark tunnels,
Removing all positive possibilities.
In days called “happy”,
When wellness comes,
My ANTS would have been DOOMED
To creep no more.
Possibilities would light up the caverns,
Filling them with positivity, making new paths:
Thoughts would be mine, not ANTS
Nor attempted ANT combat.

Most worries and baggage I hold,
Do not belong to me.
In “happy” times of well- and wholeness,
I would have learned how to return to others
What is rightfully theirs,
And find a way to keep it theirs and not make it my own again.

Fake is the smile that graces my face,
And FINE am I always.
To be “happy”, and well,
I would be real, not fake.
The smiles would have joy twinkling in my eyes...
Not tears that nobody but my teddy will ever get to see.
And FINE would not exist.

Church is a place of duty, where a God who should be there might not reside...
But of course that is not what those around me know.
When “happiness” comes,
Bringing with it the time when my life ends up well...
As do I,
God would be there...not in feeling, but in fact and faith.
He would follow me home, answer my prayers...love me.
Church would be the place it used to be – the
Place where I loved to go to,
Instead of the place I loathe.

Self-confidence? Self-esteem? Self-love? Excuse me...but what are those.
I don’t believe they exist.
In the days of “happy” and well,
They would be there...I would dare to dream.
Standing confident and secure in who I am...or what I am.

Unworthy and unlovable am I,
Pond scum...gum under God’s shoe.
Day of “happy”, please don’t pass-over me,
And please come soon my day of well,
My day of wholeness,
So I am not continually feeling worth nothing.
For in my day of “happy” worth will be felt,
And standing secure in that worth,
Loved will replace unloved.

In the “happy” day of wellness hope will return,
My ANTS will finally be destroyed,
And the dark clouds with everything they represent
And consume will be blown away.

In Bible Study on Monday 28th April we were set a task for next week. We were to write or draw or whatever (depending on what we were good at) to answer the following question: What would our life look like if we were happy?
[At least I think that is the question...I lost the paper I wrote it down on and I can't remember it.]

Here is what I have come up with so far. I will post changes if I find the paper or get texted the question.

**Edit, the actual question is: what would our life look like if it turned out well.

So my poem is absolutely perfect for me, because for me well and happy are synonymous. I just added in some extra words and changed the title a bit to fit it in with the actual question (which, by the way if you are interested, I found in my pants that I had put aside to wear during the week but had not worn)

If I dig any more I am going to be buried under a pile of loose sand.

How much do you actually see, or are you just not bothered to look?

Happy is somewhere. You will find it sometime. Just keep searching, but don't forget a light, a cell phone, a white flag, and batteries. :hug:

Amazing work.

I like the idea of the white flag... :surrender:
I am not too sure my therapist would agree, but I do think that is the perfect thing to have as a backup.

Thank You

This is really raw for you...
Open in a way you dont usually do it.

I don't know.. this one just strikes me.
It's different form the rest.

I love how it shows how different things can be on a 'good day'
How confidence seems impossible but it's there on those days.

I wish i could give you a never ending supply.
I lobe you my darling :hug:
