I remember
Years ago
I was happy.

Then darkness came;
In drips at first.
Then pools,
Then floods.

Masquerading
As people,
As abuse,
As isolation.

Consumed internally
Fighting hard
To live
To breathe.

Not truly alive.
Meander,
Stumble
And fall.

Hidden secrets bred
A deep shame.
I hid
Within.

Everlasting dark
Was normal.
I forgot
Happiness.

Fresh, sudden luck,
My new job.
People
Are kind.

Coincidence or
Twist of fate?
I have
A chance.

World's surprise gift
Of good people,
New hope,
New life.

Now I find
I'm learning
To be happy.
I have a new job!
Seriously though, this is a whole new deal for me.
The people are relaxed and groovy in a surreal, Monty Python crossed with Eddie Izzard type way. They think I'm nice, they compliment me and suddenly I have a life again. I have something to live for. I'm amazed by this sudden surprise feeling of being happy. It's odd, I'm learning how to cope with happiness all over again!
So thank you to my new job.
Ahh-ha. My job, which is in a really nice pub which has just gained new management (the relaxed and groovy people) and is just opening up and rebuilding it's reputation. I was hired as a kitchen aid, y'know a peeling potatoes, washing up, can you please dice this onion sort of kitchen aid. And suddenly I seem to be making a ridiculous amount of desserts, which I am enjoying immensely. I may have found a talent in this!!

I hope you like it, I want to know what you think
