P!NK SUNSET

I'm happy to be alive

The moments I feel on top of the world

When I sing to myself in the car

And pretend I’m opening up a mosh pit on the highway

When I allow myself to feel others love

And it feels like I’m finally visible

A pink sunset

When I come out of a long conversation and can look at the mirror and say to myself

“hey man, you’re not a screw up, that’s sick!”

“I love you even if no one else does”

or my personal fav...

“I still think you’re beautiful”

They’re worth the times like right now

Where I relentlessly question myself

And pick up where I left off at

On the last spiral staircase I was descending

But I’m okay and things can and will get better

You can spring back up a flight or two

In an instant

And then the view is pretty again

Another pink sunset

This time with some reds and yellows, too

And things are okay and hopeful and you laugh at things that are funny again

And smile when the two fated lovers of a rom-com finally end up together and they zoom in on the kiss and strings kick in

And you just feel happy that the scene exists, even though it makes you think of no one in particular

But it still feels really nice

I'm happy to be alive
