darkest horse

they tell you to always wear a smile on your face
and when you drop it, just for a second,
unintentionally,
they will ask what's wrong
untill you raise the corners of your mouth
intentionally.
what is everyone so afraid of
like the changing of seasons, I like to watch the tide of moods
maybe it is because I have so many
rosy cheek face, ocean eye, rainbowmind.
you won't make art out of always being happy.

I like serious people, I like reading something like this and listening to something like this.
I am also a happy person and when I stepped out into the frosty pink air yesterday I decided to make a list of things that make me happy.

I have
early mornings. tea cups. bows. poetry. lace dresses. vintage cameras. rainy days. cake.
fresh vegetarian food. flowers. coffee. peter pan collars. forest walks. veggie soups. the moon. vinyl records. antique stores. strawberry bubblegum. all that glitters.
so far.

(I don't remember where I stole these pretty pictures from but I am quite sure some of them are from here.)
