(This is a bonus, it's a sonnet written with actual rhyme and meter.)

I gaze outside to see the shining sun,

A gentle breeze that causes trees to sway.

Such peace brings joy, I wish I could have some.

However, I know storms are on the way.

I glance around my room to see my things,

The pictures on the wall, books on the shelf.

With all these things a happy thought it brings.

All these things are meant to distract myself.

I try to fill the void inside but fail.

With happy things, I hoped to be at peace.

With sadness, I cry. With anger, I wail,

For I may never find my true release.

Choose to be happy, choose to be at ease,

Or you will be like me, always displeased.
