I have traveled many miles to find this place:
To finally experience a new state of happy.
I left behind a life I couldn’t face
And searched for a world that better fit me.
The grass was greener on the other side,
So I jumped the fence to see for myself.
I made it over in plain daylight
And landed so gently with the grass’s help.
Bruised and tired, I completed my travel.
I fought off a monster and I faced a demon
Who helped me understand why I fought this battle-
Why I have suffered beyond reason.
The feelings I felt when I changed my ways
arrived so quickly and continued in waves.
I quickly moved forward and counted my days
Remembering why I moved to this place.
I don’t regret moving to a state of happy
For reasons that are hard to express.
I can now live freely with a light within me
That burns away any darkness that’s left.
