True Happiness is a Task

By isa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Today I should be happy Everyone else is today But not being happy, though I should later there will be i price I'll pay. I'll sit on my bed for hours And ponder over my life At theend of the day I'll take out my knife. It will be up to my heart now Just a cut or should I dye? I know the rutein by heart now It's scary now many times I've paid. Shivered in the night, On the floor i laid. For days and days My heart was mad If i was just happy that day Imagine how much i could have Maybe a little happiness True happiness, not a mask The truth is, True happiness is a task.
