Scared

My chest is flooded with warmth,
No longer numb with cold,
Troubles don't seem so fierce,
I have myself to love and hold.

Is this what happy feels like?
I'm content and I'm at peace,
These last few days I didn't have to fight,
There wasn't any depression to need to release.

This happiness scares me,
I must stay on alert,
It's calmest before the storm,
and it's the best before the worst.
