My happy, I’ll keep that for me.

I don’t often share my happy
it belongs to me
it’s what I absorb and not let run free
I take it in
I keep it for myself.

My pain
My hate
My anger
I want it out
disburse it back to the crowd
set it free from myself
regulate it
regurgitate and feed it
to anyone willing to take a piece
a thought
a word
and protect me from what I can’t resolve
other people’s actions
other people’s thoughts
we’re entitled to our own self worth
and yet it angers me
I have no control
and I say take it back
I don’t want any of it.

But my happy
I’ll keep that for me
and my family.

Thanks for reading.
