Secret joy

liking something simply because it--

    made me feel something

a solid block on the foundation of--

    my elusive identity

Scrambling up on that block to shout to the world,

"I ENJOY THINGS!"

Not out of nostalgia or because--

    someone I admire liked it first

Simply because

I heard it

And my heart

Reacted to it

My head

and hips

Moved to it

My lips smiled

effortlessly

Joy

can happen to me, too.

I am not just a sum

of everything I have come into contact with

and what others see in me

There is substance to me yet

    to be discovered

And I am joyful.

I enjoyed this & can relate, at least in my own way. The structuring's well done, especially the fragmented mid-section, it reads well.
