1. This is awesome! It read like a Dr. Seuss poem in my head for adult for some reason. I think that beautiful yet simple rhyme, which Dr. Seuss mastered so beautifully, was resonant here. I think that this poem has all the elements that makes for happiness. Not only do you directly mention those emotions in the poem, but it also shines bright with keys to being happy which is to surround yourself with people who genuinely love you and to always be unapologetically yourself. That idea, so contradicting yet so complementary, is happiness and the title and the motif of “if someone asked me” becomes ironic as you become the primary agent.

2. Thank you so much Anna

3. I really enjoyed reading your poem. It is powerful and touches on a very interesting idea. It is true that even while surrounded by such a materialistic culture, the things that we desire are often simple and nonmaterialistic. Humans naturally crave companionship, happiness, freedom, and peace. These are the things that are most important to us, but oftentimes are the hardest things to get.

   1. thank you.
