Am I Not Still

Before you ask me
What is wrong
When I am crying,
Ask yourself
If you wonder
What is right
When I smile.
Before you think
My anger defines
Today
Ask me if
I've also known
Peace.
The fact I have wept
Every day for a year
Has no less or more
Bearing
On how I am
Than my hourly giggles.
If my eyes are not bright
Am I not still
Myself?
