Good News

For a moment there I stood, I looked around with brand new eyes.

All of my problems had faded to a quiet buzz,

anxieties

my family

my highschool education 

my body

friends

my neurosis

money

my job
my hair

the disappointment, the regret, the anguish, wanting to die.

I wanted to kiss the ground, I wished to smile at everything I saw and felt.

I was hopeful, I was okay,

I hadn't gotten good news in so long I wasn't sure what to do with it,

I was skeptical.
