happy tree

in my skin it's like a cage
i can't escape. everyday
my mouth is covered in tape
so i can't speak my mind.

people get upset because the
way i speak. in reality i'm just
trying to reach. reach out for help. and try to scream so everyone
could listen to me. but i can't.

you taped my mouth shut so you
wouldn't have to hear me talk.
i sit there and cry and realize how
much i want to die. how much it
kills me seeing everyone else
happy but me.

'your happiness will come some
day' they say to me. so i sit there
waiting for my happiness to fall
off it's happy tree.

i waited and i waited. cried because
it never came in the light of day.
so on that happy tree i hung
myself to be happy. then i
found the happy me.

everyone is crying because i'm
gone but they never knew i was
dying. i just don't know why
they keep trying if i'm gone.
