Other [Issue 36] Poem: Happy to be Sad

[Tommy60 406]

 

Don't do it.

Just... I blew it.

Every time I go by,

I try to not cry

And every time til today,

I've had it my way.

But today is different, you have to see.

Well, maybe it really is just me.

An anniversary isn't that special,

Especially when the day is so uneventful.

Seeing a place of glories long passed,

Just reminds me of where my tears are stashed.

 

Don't try to sympathize-

You'd be the first to brush me off, with a roll of your eyes.

though, you might even go as far as to venture forth,

And ask why my lips' edge is pointing anywhere but North.

But then, to explain,

My words would pour forth; a rain.

At the onset of which, you,

I do not care who,

Would have a hard time listening,

As you subject yourself to my incessant 'rambling.'

 

Admit it, you would!

You would get out of there as soon as you could.

You wouldn't want to hear of all that I've done,

Or of the times I liked to call 'fun.'

Who cares of the records I've made,

Because your mind has just strayed.

As I would notice this, this change in your facial demeanor,

I think I would understand why your ears are acting less than eager.

I wouldn't get mad,

Yet instead, a bit glad.

I spared you, a person, from getting too bored

And I'd have let you return to your life, by your own accord.

I know my story is of no interest to any but me,

And now, knowing that makes me happy.

 

You see, we shouldn't be sad because our apexes have passed,

We should be glad for the memories we've amassed.
