[cheer me up]

I want poems to read for when I feel like complete shxt and need some cheering up. So nothing depressing or emo but nothing so happy that I'll feel worse, if that makes sense. idk. My mind is too fxcked to let me think right.
Anyways, I just want some short poems that will make me happy or hopeful or something.

*enter as much as you like

*authors name in notes

*no prewrites

*I'll add more shiny things and point if anyone even enters blah blah blah

*no erotica, not a fan, they won't win, etc.

*nothing depressing or emo like I already said

*no essays please, I'm off my ADD meds and my attention span is shxt

*Freeverse, prose, DP, hint hint, but any form is okies

If I think of anything else I'll add it.

anyways
um...yea, think that's it for now


manic depression sucksssss

    I can only be funny when I rhyme. How can anybody be funny in free verse?

    I found my underpants
    out on the grass
    with a newspaper on them
    and now I think
    that the paperboy
    is in love with me.
