"What is happiness?" The younger version of me asked.  "Happiness," My kindergarten teacher said, "is a burst of energy that makes you glow. Why? Do you feel happiness?" The younger version of me stared at the classroom mat. "I don't know what I feel." The younger version of me said. She looked up and smiled at the teacher, then walked away and played alone in the corner of the room.

The pain in my chest.

My heart is like a sun with clouds blocking its beauty. A ray of gold that could never shine. It was like that for as long as I could remember.
