HaPpY pLaCe

This is for the girls and boys that sit in the lonely corners at lunch, this is for the math teachers (need i expand), this is for the dreamers who live among the clouds, this is for the people who check their watches too much
Find your happy place
this is for the mischief making two year olds, this is for the mothers of mischief making two year olds, this is for the elderly who, like two year olds have applesauce being spooned in their mouth by some overly happy looking woman... please find your happy place
This is for the cowboy boot wearing boys, the wallflower in gym class, this is for the newborns with patches of heaven in their sparkling eyes, this is for the people with red hair... the people with no hair,
find your happy place
This is for the girls who cant see past themselves in high school, the girls who are looked right past, this is for the people with the bandaged hearts and tattered souls,
find your happy place
this is for the big brothers who protect their little sisters, this is for the bullied and broken, the bruised and the scarred, this is for the boys in the polos, this is for the drama queens,  this is for the friendless,
find your happy place
this is for the two year olds that cannot be understood because the speak half english half god,  this is for the unforgiven, for the ones with bottled up unreached potential,
find your happy place
this is for the kids who no longer know where home is, this is for the fathers who cry after their families are sleeping because they know they cannot support them all alone,
find your happy place
just look, we all have a place or a thought to take us away from ourselves, where we can slip from our skin if but for just a small moment.

  1. I like the second paragraph the most, where the two year old metaphor continues throughout the whole thing. Good job!
