A cheerier poem (for a change)

Sometimes the joy is overwhelming
Sometimes it feels undeserved; accidental
Sometimes I turn it around; turn it in on myself
Make it seem bad, feel bad, be bad

Sometimes it's too much, or not enough
Sometimes it settles where it should
Sometimes I question my own certainty
Make it feel like a weight and a burden

Sometimes I allow myself a glimmer
Sometimes I see the wood for the trees
Sometimes I believe I'm deserving
Make it more often, please...
