The mind of a happy person
Is something I've never understood.
Do you wake up with it?
Is it some kind of magic?
I ponder to myself for a while.
Thirty years to be exact.
I wake up from my thirty year epiphany on May 31
My thirtieth birthday
I feel different.
Like I'm new to this life.
I breathe a breath of fresh air,
And become aware.
Aware of my surroundings
Aware of my emotions.
Aware of life.
And suddenly
I realize,
I'm a different person now.
I'm....
Happy.
I celebrate life
Because it was almost taken away.
I celebrate happiness
For the first time
In thirty years
And that is the best birthday gift of all.
The mind of a happy person
Is something I finally understand
