I Wish I Knew Happiness (Short)

By QuietlyRemembering

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I thought it was okay,I thought I was through with it for the rest of my life.I tried so hard to avoid it,To ignore it when it happened to my friends.I tried so hard to run from it,Thinking I have defeated it,But I have not.Now it has just come back with so much more pain behind each cut...I wish I knew what it was like to be happy.I wish it weren't true.
