Peppy Poem by Sara Tehrani

Happiness lies there at ease
It begs you to let it in, beg you to death!
But then suddenly you’re defensive
You don’t ever see colour, just a blur
You don’t ever feel
Just emptiness!
Just nothing!

Happiness lies there in the distance
It is there, it exists
You will come to feel it one fine day
But will you please let that be today?
Sadness is simply imaginary
Something you feel you have to feel
From the loss
From the confusion
But who said there has to be pain?
Who said you won’t love again?

Peppy pulse, peppy presumption
Of how the ones around you feel
Yet look again!
Think again!
Peppy is within you too.
Just a smile will make all the difference
love the colour blue.
