Too Happy, Happy No More

Too good for soft drinks, too good for this world
Happy bubblegum pops and it's staining your teeth,
a pink smile and a pale skin.

Blow your nose of all the thinkings,
and spit up all of the worries.
You are a beautiful baby girl
brought in to this world.

You are eighteen and not a day more,
happy birthday, birthday girl,
he hates you.

You move out and in
to your first apartment, home at last.
Where to begin with the pasting of memories
from so long ago you remember.

Sorrowful eyes set with some pale lips,
happy no more but you are on your way.
This won't be forever, but it may take a while.

High school is over and love no longer exists,
welcome to the world,
beautiful baby girl.
