"She smiled the brightest
She laughed the loudest
She loved the longest
She desired the bestest
She hugged the tightest
She danced the smoothest
She kissed the deepest
To live the greatest
But what her friends didn't know
What she just wanted to hide
Were the streaks of woe
That caused her every day to lie
She would go to bed
And stare at the ceiling
The demons in her head
Wouldn't let her stop feeling
Every second of every day
Were spent going insane
A life once so bright
Ruined by a broken brain
And the reaction from her peers
Was nothing but disdain
She hid those tears
And sliced open her vein
And a smile, once bright
A laugh, once loud
A love, once long
A desire, once strong
A hug, once tight
A dance, once smooth
A kiss, once deep
A woman of truth
Was all washed down the drain
Was all wiped from existence
Leaving just that crimson stain
As she faced the distance
Between her and happiness
And she reached out to touch it
With a sense of distress
She knew she'd cross it
And she brushed against it
That bright white light
But she slipped. And she fell
And awoke in the night
In a hospital bed, she lay
Mind clouded with medicine
Her form wrapped in sheets
Body thin as a skeleton
She had wanted to die
And even that god given right
Was taken with a sigh
In just one single night
So I tell you my friends
To know what lies ahead
Be wary of the bends
And keep hold of your thread
Because he whom smiles the brightest
Whom laughs the loudest
Whom loves the longest
Whom desires the bestest
Whom hugs the tightest
Whom dances the smoothest
And whom kisses the deepest
May be living the lowest."

PoetryI am not happy. I don't know if I've ever been, or if I ever will be. Plenty of shit has happened to me, but plenty of shit has happened to everyone so I shouldn't feel special. I just wish I didn't have a normal person's life. I wish I didn't have...
