Happy

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.
