I grew up rich.Their were expectations of me. No path nor means to get there. I am happy.
Happy Today



I am happy today
I grew with everything.
Expectations and boxes
Are what you desire for me.

Not today or any day
Live my life best as I can
Do not care how I am viewed
Want to please but I am not you.

I’ve made many mistakes
Every one an adventure.
They will be stories to tell
A warning or a freedom.

Tell me I could be so much more
Then call me loser useless.
Call me weak / stupid / failure.
I don’t care. I am just me.

I have been deep in the dirt.
I have seen the dark of despair.
I have seen the overwhelming
Joy of hope and belief in love.

What do your rules do for you?
How much did you learn today?
Why care what others think?
Who are you? Self-reflection.

I do a lot of self-reflection.
My life has been amazing.
I’ve seen everything I need
I’ve earned my happiness / joy.

In which box is happiness / joy
Accept no expectations
Find exceptions. Live life more.
It is a life worth living.

I am happy today.
