wake up laughing

it's funny how you wake up
one morning,
and you have a wonderful epiphany
about where you are
now, that you no longer
care about someone
you once agonized over.
you almost start laughing at
the insanity
that person brought into your life.
instead of worry and anxiety,
fear and pain,
you feel nothing. the sweet and clear
cold
water of truth and freedom.
all that cliché stuff.
it's refreshing.
why it took so long, is meaningless,
what counts is that
you are no longer attached to
a lunatic, a wolf in sheep's
clothing. the poison
is gone, the dark cloud
has moved on.
you do a dance as you jump
out of bed, throwing your
hands into the air,
spinning gaily around.
