Happiness is a Foreign Word

Backed into a corner without a ray of hope in sight.

Looking for a way out, when I keep being pushed in.

This misery overwhelms me, takes over my whole body.

I have no way of escape; I try and am given options that will only feed my hectic emotions.

People say they understand;... But they don't even know what's going on.

Even if they did, they wouldn't understand.

Worse... They would'nt care.

Do I not deserve happiness? Am I not good enough?

The sun greets me on the other side, but the darkness pulls me right back in.

Pretending makes it worse; and makes it hurt.

The worlds too stuck up their own butts to see.

Happiness is on the other side of a Do Not Pass sign.

What do I have or have to look forward to, when I have nothing?

Everything gets taken away; my life, my joys, my hope.

Everything that was promised to me has disappeared with my trust.

Things change; including me.

I don't want to be this way.

I want to be happy.
