This Joyful Day

Just Isn't What It Seems

The day so bright and warm is like a dream

Green grass and trees and flowers all aglow

This joyful day just isn’t what it seems.

When eyes both cry and endless tissues blow.

***

My sweaty skin is met by gentle breeze

A boon so sweet I should feel so thankful

But all it does is make me want to sneeze

My summer days will never feel quite whole.

***

I feel like I am broken in some way.

I can’t enjoy a picnic or a pool

I can’t enjoy a blissful summer day.

I’m telling you, allergies are not cool.

***

And so I guess I’ll take another pill

And sleep until the pollen all goes still.
