Reusing Canvas



I wrote on this piece of paper about nine times
The page is now dark grey from all the eraser marks
(I use pencil because I always make mistakes)
I tried to write every happy thought I could muster
And I came up with four lines
Two of them were depressing
And one was just a food I happen to like
I erased that and tried again
I wrote a tagline from a movie I realized I didn't really like
I tried seven more times and just wrote "I am a happy person and I love myself because..." and couldn't finish the sentence
Now I'm just staring at this piece of paper
Dark grey from all the eraser marks
And thinking, this is as happy as it gets for me
