It is a sad sort of happiness

        when the day comes to a close,

        and when the sky takes on its colorful hues.

I return home.

        I am riding - not driving - so from my window I may gaze at this town flowing by and

        admire the people in whom I suddenly find a certain perfection.

It is a sad sort of happiness 

        that flowers in my heart and tugs at my soul as I see

        these things, my home. 

How am I to be myself if I don’t know who I am?
