I’m ever happy with you

~ ~M

This life…
It’s full of hardships
and battles we never see coming.

One minute, we’re going along
doing our thing
and the very next moment
we’re left perplexed by the audacity of others.

I like the little bubble I’m living in
but it periodically breaks
when the wills of others smash it to pieces.

I try to hold things together
and stay within the confines
of the happiest place I know.

Maybe others just want to get inside
and dwell in contentment too.

Sadly, there isn’t room for the whole world.

I let some people in
and some I hold captive for a while.

Others stay with me
because they don’t wanna be anywhere else,
and they can never imagine leaving.

Those are the ones I hold fast to with all my heart.

They’re the ones who keep me alive
and save me when the battles begin.

  6. I hear you, and your words resonate deeply with me. Life certainly has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, leaving us to navigate through the chaos. Your description of the little bubble you try to maintain strikes a chord; we all crave that sense of peace and contentment. It’s a balancing act to keep our spaces safe and welcoming while making room for those who enrich our lives. I wholeheartedly agree that those special connections are what sustain us through tough times. Your reflection is beautiful and profoundly relatable.

    Thank you for sharing this.
