What?
By Mark Sherrick

I feel different
but nothing is
I’m actually happy now
instead of the normal sad
or angry, or hurt, or depressed
I’m happy but there’s no reason
But there must be
Maybe something new is around
to change my mood
yet leave everything else the same
Wait...there it is...thats the new thing
but I cant see it now, its not here
to make me smile and laugh and feel happy for once
Its out of my line of sight, behind me, 
maybe around the corner, 
waiting for me to go find it so I can
smile and laugh again today
I feel different
because something is.
