Well, It lasted for a moment.
I realized how sad my life was turning, so as my response,
I tried to be happy.
I looked at the happy side of things.
Thinking maybe, just maybe,
it would change my life
and I would be able to live without worries,
without sadness.
Boy, am I a fool.
The moment I tried to change myself,
change how I thought,
someone came along and reminded me why I was so sad.
Because the world is unfair and I deserve nothing good in this illusion we call life.
It lasted for a moment,
before I came back to reality.
