Is This For Real?

Is This For Real?

A Poem by therisa

What is this feeling
Which grips me
Not my usual dark self
Passes as normal
For me.

Could it be
I am sick
And don’t even
Know it?

This feeling of euphoria
I find myself
In
Leaves my soul
Feeling confused and dizzy
At the same time.

Is this
What it means
To be happy?

Instead of
Constantly battling
My darker
And more destructive
Emotions.

Not sure
If I am ready
What if....

Sigh.

The confusing moment of happiness and elation is an odd thing to experience.
