The Blues Makes Me Happy

The Blues makes me happy...

..............

..

The Blues makes me happy!  Not because it’s uplifting or reminds me of
better days.  It doesn’t make me dance or
jump with joy.  It’s not about faith or a
new found love for life.  It’s not about
comfort, smiles, good deeds, or fond memories.
Still, The Blues makes me happy. 

.. ..

The Blues makes me happy because
it’s the complete opposite of all these things.
It makes me happy because I’ve been down. I’ve been hurt. I’ve had my
heart broken, my faith in people crushed, and my expectations lowered.  I’ve lost things.  Important things.          

The Blues makes me happy because
it’s my way of letting all this pain out.
Some people start therapy.  Some
people start to drink.  Some people hide
it all away until one day they crack and find themselves in a bad way.  Not me.
The Blues lets me tell you how I feel, and what I’ve been through.  The Blues lets you into my world in a way
that would never happen in casual conversation.

.. ..

….The Blues lets my blues out, and
my happiness in.
