Alive, Again

This day is quite strange--
I woke up with a perfect smile
I played a different playlist
Not the usual emo songs, at least. 
I said hello to the robin in her nest home
While I opened the curtains in my room
And let the bright sunlight in. 
I sang loudly in the shower, 
Then dusted my face with a bright pink powder. 
My coffee tasted like sweet chocolate, 
To my surprise, a full breakfast was what I ate.
I passed by strangers and smiled at them
I greeted everyone "good morning"--
This day is quite strange--
I never felt any single regret or pain
Suddenly, I fell in love with being alive again.
