It Was You.

I was lost,

but now I have been found.

I was once searching to find joy,

but all along

it was right before me.

It was you.

If I could just be skinny enough,

smart enough,

or, simply, perfect enough.

Then,

Only,

I wasn't.

Because true joy

was right before me all along.

It was you.

You were the smile in the midst of pain,

The peace that overcame my restlessness,

And the hope that conquered despondency.

It was you.

You were the joy all along.
