Happiness is Complicated
Time to dust
off all the happy songs
along with the costume pieces
I forgot I owned, bedazzled corsets
and feather boas
I have to confess
I don’t really know
what I’m doing here
but all of a sudden
I’m willing
to get dolled up,
put on my pretty face
and see what happens.

I love this! It doesn’t matter if you know what you’re doing, just dust off the happiness and allow yourself to, just be. These lines are wonderful!
This is a visually appealing poem, with good use of enjambment and space to say what want.
