Joy Overload

There are tears breeding from your glee,

Rejoicing so big it will get you ripped,

and take you away, funnily, from that same fit.

Bitterness as a note in your lollipop

Joy overload: you burst, you blow.

There is a dark shade stemming from your best days,

So much love, and hope, it will explode.

There is fear it might be lost!

So much happiness, it overflows, it outgrows

and does a crazy turn.
