Oh happy day! When the sky is gray and the sun is blue When the rain falls upwards and the leaves don't fall at all When the world stands still for just a moment and I can finally let out the breath I have been holding since the beginning of time I am a light Getting harder and harder to see through the layers of clothing I pile on But I do not mind I like when the wind bites at my ankles And the sip of coffee burns the roof of my mouth The posters on my wall look faded and crooked My desk is messy like my thoughts To my right, an unmade bed To my left, an unpacked suitcase That I can't seem to put away... The sky is black now and the sun is gone Something thin and dim has replaced it The street echoes farther at night The leaves still haven't fallen The books on my desk have grown taller but how am I to read in this condition: Cozy and uncaffeinated, the world too loud My bed looks rigid and angry The posters are singing and my shoes are whispering But I just want to taste the sun again I want to smell the gray sky I long to feel gravity again
