Getting Better

Getting Better
A poem similar to others I already wrote but also inspired by my general happiness gosh-darnnit

~ ~ ~

There's too many things
Bouncing around inside my head
Some times I wish the worst
That I was dead
But I know that's not the way

Oh, when I was young
And heard that Roger Waters found the way
To stay artistic
And yet somehow also sane
I knew that I would somehow be alright

Now years have past
I'm largely the same
Not dangerous or self-destructive
But also not sustained
I feel inadequate
I feel somehow unwhole
Like there's a piece missing
The part to fill the void
For a while I bemoaned
Acted the end of the world
But then a cartoon
Before my eyes unfurled
Colorful ponies
Prancing, playing, and having fun
And even defending their home
The whole three-base run!
I watched as they laughed
I watched as they cried
I watched as the pink one
Slathered her face in cream pie

A sight to behold
These six technicolor ponies
Heck, anyone to deny them
Must surely be phonies

I love this show in ways not expressible in the English Language.
