The Feeling of Feeling Unburdened

 
What are these bursts of emotions I'm feeling?
Dancing around my mind to an upbeat tune.
I smile happily for the first time in a long time; feeling unburdened, feeling pure joy.
I ruffle my vibrant auburn hair and release a scream of success.
Shooting my fists into the warm breeze of spring and jumping around like a happy child.
I feel. Happy.

The sun burns my fair freckled skin and my blue-green eyes try to shy away from the rays.
I shake off the sun and keep smiling as the moon beams into the night.
The thoughts that were once muddled no longer torment me.
The darkness that once held onto me has scurried away into the shadows.
For now I am safe. For now I am free.
For now I am...
Happy.
