As I reached for happiness
I touched only pain
As I dream of greater things
I experience only rejection
I cry in sadness
I cry in joy
I cry in frustration
I cry in compassion
I laugh at my tears
I laugh at my stupidity
I laugh in happiness
I laugh in understanding
I mourn the deceased
I celebrate new life
As I despair for lost opportunities
I hope for new beginnings
I am in that mad place between agony and ecstasy
