I don't believe I've ever felt true happiness,
Only small moments of joy in a sea of sadness.
I don't know what I'd do if I ever became truly happy.
Maybe I'd not cry myself to sleep anymore,
Or stop imagining my own death,
But who knows.
Definitely not me.
I don't believe I've ever been not sad,
Not even when I met someone I've idolized for years.
Even in that moment of what should've been total joy,
I felt sadness.
Sad that I would leave soon,
Sad that my idol probably wouldn't remember me.
I was sad about anything that I could be sad about
And things that I should've been happy about.
I don't believe I've ever understood how people can say
To "just be happy"
Trust me,
I fucking would if I fucking could.
But at this point,
I don't believe I know how to be happy.
