She stared into the mirror
For once she was happy
There was a spreading of happiness throughout her body
Her soul ached with ecstasy
Her closed eyes only pictured yellow
The yellow of daffodils
The yellow of sunflowers
Tulips, marigolds, buttercups
For once the positivity flowed through her like gold
She felt iridescent
Simply light with joy
Floating up and up and up
No one
Nothing
Could bring her down
Everything
For the first time
Seemed to be going right
Take a snapshot in time
Rewind to this moment only last year
See a girl only blue
Only black
Her falling tears only adding to the physical representation
Of just how terribly sad she was inside
The puddle of tears only grew as her confidence
Shrank
That girl wondered when the melancholic feeling would leave
Whether our destiny was just to evade sadness
Yet she now knows
It’s to chase happiness.
