I am not sad
For the sake
Of being sad.
I dream
Rose colored
Dreams,
Wish upon
Celestial stars,
And hot-glue wings
Of glitter
On my back.
Sometimes I fall
400 floors
And crush
My fragile body.
Sometimes stars
Seem far away;
Hidden behind
Thunder's gate.
And sometimes my dreams
Bleed black and white.
But when I'm troubled
Do I not inhale Night's
Fresh air,
And try again when
The sun regains its
Control?
And yet they say
I'm sad
For the sake
Of being sad.
Sometimes I can't escape the sadness, but I always try to find peace somewhere. I tend to find this happy medium between sadness and peacefulness that I just can't properly explain. Could things get better? Yes. But things aren't worse, and that's something to focus on.

I totally get this. My dad has it in his head that I'm "happy being sad"? That.... makes no sense. I don't want to be sad. It's just there.
