I am stupidly happy and don’t know why It’s a quiet happiness, the kind I haven’t felt in years The kind I forgot existed The air is humid and the sky is grey and the rain is falling And I must be wicked, or privileged, or stupid to be this happy I must be selfish, delirious, solipsistic I must be blind to everyone’s suffering
And anyway, I’m procrastinating studying for a test While sitting alone in silence I am nostalgic, sad, wistful, lonely Cruel hurt misunderstood misunderstanding And happy. Stupidly happy.
