enough happiness

sometimes i feel so overwhelmed with happiness
i feel like i'm about to burst any second.
i feel whole, complete, good
alive

sometimes i feel this way for no reason

i feel bad when this happens
because while i'm experiencing this happy moment; someone, somewhere, is having the worst day of their life
someone, somewhere, just got murdered
someone, somewhere, just took their own life
someone, somewhere, is crying themselves to sleep
someone, somewhere...

the world is filled with sadness
it's in every crook
and every cranny

but, i have to remind myself that life is also very happy; someone, somewhere, is having the best day of their life
someone, somewhere, just married their best friend
someone, somewhere, is traveling around the world, experiencing new things, and admiring this world
someone, somewhere just met the person that they'll fall in love with someday
someone, somewhere, was just born. a fresh soul has entered this strange, complex, beautiful place i call home.

and that gives me hope
because even though this world is full of evil, horrible people, it is also filled with beautiful, loving people
and that is enough
