Happiness Poem

A free-verse poem

This is what I wanted: to be unique.
Why was I cocooned for so long
in a never-ending humdrum?
I love you, stress.
I love you, monotony.
I love you, burnouts.
Mundanity, you do not scare me.
Tonight I will sleep in the dark
but I will wake again blooming in the dawn.
I will wake again blooming in the dawn.
