Are you happy is such a difficult question. I always say yes,because I have friends, I laugh at jokes I go out a lot and 'have fun'. My life isn't as bad as it could be, and I don't have terrible problems, it could be worse.
But then one night at 3a.m. when I'm alone still awake, lying in bed, thinking about life I find myself crying my heart out. Suddenly I convince myself that nobody likes me,or nobody will ever like me. I feel horrible and I question everything I had....
And I don't know if I was ever happy at all.....
Are you happy? someone said
NO I shouted in my head. 'Yes' my lips said
Knowing all night,the question will linger inside my head
Giving me the inability to sleep,dream and even think
Because I began to question everything I ever had
"Well if you're tired,just go to sleep. Do you know how stupid you sound?
That's like telling a depressed person to 'just be happy
or a person with an eating disorder to 'just eat'
or like telling someone with anxiety to 'stop worrying'
what I'm getting at is life isn't going to be easy
It's a lot harder than learning you're ABC's
