I envy those that can write 

When happy
Most of my writing happens
With tears in my eyes
Gasping breaths
Heart stolen from my sleeve 
In petty thefts
And it’s almost as if this
✨e m o t i o n a l  l a b o r✨
Is a necessary ingredient 
Enhancing my work
Throwing in this fine seasoning 
All mixed up in a paste
No exact measurements 
Just adding to taste
Then inviting some guests
To try it while it’s still hot
