"I Am Poem"

I am delighted and distressed

I wonder why happiness is not called sadness

I hear laughs

I see smiles

I want to be happy

I am delighted and distressed

I pretend to fall in love

I feel the sadness overcoming me

I touch the wound that marks me

I worry about the pain I'll feel

I cry when it hurts

I am delighted and distressed

I understand all things come and go

I say it's ok to be heartbroken

I dream about all things beautiful

I try to push the sadness away

I hope my heart heals from this pain

I am delighted and distressed
