misery

By squiz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I woke up today and smiled Today is my day, I am in control My outcome, my happiness. The first raindrop fell Along with it my first tear What makes happiness when we want joy I go to have fun and what I find is misery. misery If I was alone, would I know misery Is misery relative, do I make it I tell myself I am ‘ok’ I wanted to have that good day I smile, I act ok, the day is good Am I really miserable if I ignore happiness I laugh and smile with everyone else I feel better, but should I address what I feel I think too much I smile too little It is impossible to ignore misery It is my choice to smile.
