Happy vs Sad
November 10, 2014
They say that it is easy to write.
Its no problem, your pen will take flight!
They say,
Try harder, this is too cliche..
You are asked to speak of happy things
Perhaps of a yellow bird that sings
Truth is it’s easier to write sad
Trust me I’m not mad
I’m actually quite a happy girl
But to write like me makes me want to hurl
So instead I cave
And write about the grave
Then I can use all the imagery you want from me
It’s easier to write sad don’t you see?

This is just a poem I wrote while working on my poetry collection, I was getting a smidge frusterated that all my poems that where on happy subjects were all really cliche.
