The end of the Song

Once again my happiness is gone
I knew these few delights wouldn't last very long.
Like listening till you reach the very last verse of a song.

An emptiness reflecting only the violence
Of my mind spiralling in negative vehemence.
The melody is replaced with silence.

When social acceptance no longer breeds a possibility.
When family members lose their hospitability.
When impressing them grows far beyond your capability.

When your life becomes nothing but trials and tribulations.
When you start to dread all the upcoming family vacations.
When your pain could break the hearts of all the earth's nations.

When everything plays out in black and white.
When grey becomes your only source of light.
When the tears are so numerous it obscures your sight.

When all you can do is listen to the silence in a song.
When all you can do is accept that your happiness is gone.
When you're alone and the road is still long.
