Lucky? Go Happy!

'Happy go lucky'
Never been the type.
Rational Rachel.
Calm Casey.
Or Negative Nancy, some would say . . . 
Regardless, Happy places are sometimes spaces - I would like to fill.
Feeling. Flying. Hopping high. Jumping Jack and Jill. 

Happy places and sunshine faces.
My recollect have grown so dreary.
I wait hours and hours, peek moments in time.
 my worry . . .  the reason I sob in rhyme.

Happy places are moments away.
I await them everyday.
I'm gay with envy of everyone who has a brighter day.
My mean girl mug throws darts and daggors
Baggor friends who seem entangled 
with other things to do- 
To do the check on their list = I'm always left - Boo Who!?!

Happy places?
What is that? 
Yes - mind control
I understand
Its MY mind
NOT what you do.
Get it, got it - I'll chew . . . on that.
Out one ear and out the other
I suffer longer than anyone I knew
already long past in slumber
while rumbling covers hide my blue

Happy places and lucky aces
where did you go?
I can't seem to find any of you.
You skipped one space
to the left, to the left
just me, myself and who?

Happy friends in happy places
ummmmm - did you forget me here?
The one 'happiness' I once had
you stole by age and fear
I wish I could hold on to those 'loves' 
the few I barely cared
I cared a lot and still I do
you know me very well?

Happy places and no more rhymes
rhythm awaits another day
to turn the page of random rage
and past the passing graves
skim over the shocking waves
a memory not far in daze
I crave:
Happy places and fulfilling spaces
space to be . . . HAPPY!
