on happiness

some days i’m broke
some days i’m rich
some days i’m nice,
some days i can be a bitch
— Pretty Girl, Maggie Lindemann

sometimes i feel like a football player;

but instead of a football,

it’s my heart that i hold so tight;

of which i am trying to protect,

from all the things that made me cry,

but still trying my best

to bring people around me sunshine.


your happiness is my priority;

if you are not happy with me,

then i will leave.

because if i stay,

it’s you who will not be healthy, not me.


he is trying so hard,

just like me.

the way he texts,

the way he wants to get close to me;

they were just like what i did:

trying to get close to you,

inch by inch.


you know i just saw a post on instagram that says:

“why Iron-man,

not Fe-male.”

i laughed so hard and almost sent it to you.


because i want to be honest to you,

so i started being honest to myself;

for the first time in my life,

i disarmed my armor,

and showed you my most vulnerable parts.

i am so glad you showed up

in my life that is full of scars;

yet among them i saw you,

cuz you’re the sky full of stars.

you lifted me up,

yet not knowing how ama-tf-zing you are.
