Joyful Girl.

I do it for the joy it brings
Because I am a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
&& we owe each other the world
I do it because it's the least I can do
I do it because I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
..Because I want to

Everything I do is judged
&& they mostly get it wrong
But oh well
The bathroom mirror has not budged
&& the woman who lives there can tell
The truth from the stuff that they say
&& she looks me in the eye.

She says,"Would you prefer the easy way?
No? Well, okay then. Don't cry."

& I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
Of something I want to do more
The question fills my head
I know that there's no grand plan here
This is just the way it goes -
& when everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know


I do it for the joy it brings...
