What A Poet Thinks

Happiness Be Damned!

Heyy guys. Its been a while...

Look at yourself in the mirror, you'll find a reflection,

       Eyes burning from years of dejection;

You know you'll smile, whether its tired or broken,

       The world was supposed to give more than death's token.

Wrap yourself with a facade of calmness,

      Hide the others from its brewing madness!

Tie yourself to the string of reality,

      Your unstable sanity was the cause of your fatality.

Stand tall, stand straight, you can't be weak,

     You were at the top of the mountain's peak;

Screams echoed, your eyes searched for its source,

     You didn't realize it traced back to your course.

Strength gained from pain, harsh lines on your face,

     It was you, who Happiness, had to chase;

Shutting all doors, the faintest light peaking in,

     You embraced the darkness and lifted your chin.
