In the open fields of happiness
Despair, misery, distress
… Weeds, on an otherwise perfect plain
Surface regardless, of no watering can
Reasons to be sad never cease
The dark side is self sufficient
I resist the persistent consensus
As I love in place of hateÂ
Cultivating my better self to stream
A steady supply to the side
I believe needs it most.
