Happy Now

I am happy now.
I was upset.
I was enraged.
But I am happy now.
My heart and soul were full of hate.
Full of despair and agony.
I didn’t understand why this was happening to me.
But I am happy now.
It felt like something was missing.
I was alive but not living.
Nothing made me smile.
All I could see was troubles.
From the suffering, and the pain.
There was a lot to sustain.
How could I not complain?
I needed a new kidney and liver to stay.
I fought so hard every day.
Depression took over my brain.
So, I started to pray.
God, please give me a break!
A miracle came, I was called one day.
Both organs were on the way.
I am happy now.
I see myself as someone else.
I have good health now.
What I needed to live.
I have found.
No more crying, no more frowns
Because I am happy now.
