I wasn't the same...

After my Happiness slipped away

Gone...

...like a whisper, and it left me astray...

I don't know what to feel...

...not anymore...

...I am nothing like who I was before...

"Things change" is what they all say...

But they don't know what it's like, everyday...

I was a hyper, chipper child...

That greeted everyone with a smile...

Little did they know...

...it would be gone for a while...

Now I'm distant...

Feeling detached from myself...

It would seem as if...

...I'm being controlled...

...by the demons in my head...

What do I have to do...

To be happy once again...?

Be the bright chipper child, everyone once held...

There is nothing I can do...I'm dying inside...

But...they would know that...if they looked me in the eyes...

It's not their fault...but it's not fair...

I am the one who avoids that stare...

Tear after tear...they roll down my cheek...

...Someone...help me find...

...the Happiness I seek...

Too many welling up...

...too many tears...

...It hurts to let them fall...

...I bawl for what seems like years...

I don't know what to do...

...someone help me feel...

...the happiness...

...that is concealed...

...yet...I'm crying...

...and screaming and dying...

...I...

...am still...

...smiling...

...and as long as I smile...

...each and every day...

...everything...

...will be okay...

...Happiness gone...

...like a whisper in the night...

...but...

...as long...

...as I

Smile...

...everything will be alright...

...right...?
