Hey guys

in poem •  8 years ago 

So I haven't written in a while like I'd hoped but unfortunately life gets in the way of what you actually really want to do and I have been at a loss for words for what to write, but I'm including a poem that captures most of what I'm feeling write now, hope you like it.

How can you hope to be happy
When life doesn't allow it
When you have to crack a smile
For the people who don't care
As your days drift by
You go through the motions
In a glassy eyed trance
Pouring your soul out
And screaming for help
Where no one can hear you in your deepest, blackest thoughts
The darkness and the fear control your life
But you aren't afraid of that fear
That long time friend that can make you feel safe
But makes you a foe of the elusive dream of happiness
The darkness pulls you in
Teasing you with the promise of never feeling again
But even though you want to welcome it
You can't stop yourself from chasing the dream
For your happiness
