Joy

I can't believe you've never felt
This magic before
I got glitter in my brain
And there's trash on my floor
Same song has been repeating
For three or four days
I can't pay attention
To whatever you're saying

I wanna talk about a movie
But I'm feeling ignored
So, I'll cry in my corner
And I'll watch it some more
I only like things
When I see where they're going
And there's no greater fear
Than the fear of not knowing

And what is more exciting than
Making up a world inside your mind?
And what is more intriguing than
Being over-analytical sometimes?
Do you not see how it's connected?
Is your body not affected?
I will tell you and you'll forget by tonight
And that's fine, it's not your brain it's mine

There's a pile of old laundry
That I'm trying to ignore
But I got jitters of excitement
That I feel to my core
What do you mean I'm too old
To be spinning around?
How else do you cope
With all the treasure you've found?

Inside a book, inside a movie
In the science of space
How does your body sit still
Does your mind not start to race?
How can I explain
Some things make me so happy
That my shoulders start to wiggle
And my hands start flapping

What is more delightful
Than giving in to what fills you with joy?
And why would I subject myself to
Being bothered by being called "annoying"?
And I guess you might not get it
But I hope that you will admit
It's overrated to act grown-up all the time
And that's fine, it's not your brain it's mine
