When you breathe, breathe in happiness,
Thoughts of what you could be if there was peace.
Circle your hand in the water.
It goes around forever, it breathes with you.
If you rest, let your whole body rest.

I want to be happy
the smell of brown rice and laughing with family
friends, on the couch making movies and watching them too
snuggling with my mom and reading Christmas books lighting

My eyes hurt
I scrunch then up but it doesn't work
They're burning
Tears spring to my eyes and I close them
Purple and green swirling around in an amoeba of thoughts
The nebula of my brain creeps out of my head and onto the floor

I have just come downstairs from getting dressed in fancy clothes,
And I decide that it's time to go on a little scavenger hunt.
I open the fridge with a flourish and an evil smile on my face.
