Forest (Wattys2016)

Happy?

Seems like no one is truly happy anymore

Caught up with media

And things they can't afford

Looking for a way out

But only being met with closed doors

Killers and backstabbers

So even I'm holding a sword...

Nothing makes sense to me

Victims of mistaken identities

Severe pain that never is relieved

Teenage mothers abandoned in the streets

I can feel my oncoming defeat

She tells me she never truly loved me

My mother is ashamed that she never hugged me

Sometimes it all feels like a dream

My body is numb without the need of morphine

I hate going to sleep

And I'm even more terrified of being awake

Usually I'm in a corner as I quiver and shake

My eyes darting at the sound of my name

Thunder strikes while the Earth shakes

I have any flaws beyond what you see

But my biggest downfall is not being happy
