I want someone to tell me how to be happy.
I want someone to take me to the end of the rainbow,
where they have found their very own happiness.
Take the corners of my fallen mouth and turn them upright.
Sew them up with purple thread because that’s my favorite color.
Take my tears and store them somewhere sacred.
Where someday I can go back and spread them,
on the dead ashes of the sadness inside me.
Reattach my hair back together with my scalp.
Do so carefully because they are delicate too.
Pinch my cheeks to give them a rosy color,
even if the only way is through pain.
Lift my drooping shoulders and arch my slumping spine.
So that I can stand tall in hopes of seeing the light,
at the end of the dark tunnel I’ve been traveling through.
Take a magic marker and erase the darkness under my eyes,
Because the pigmentation is taking away from the beautiful blue eyes,
I used to get complimented on some time ago
Put my puzzling mind back in place,
One by one so I’ll know if I’m missing a piece or not.
Piece me back to whole because I can’t remember what that was like anymore.
