"The Word 'Happy' is a Curse"

I lifted my head up,
Only to face my fear.
To face me, to see my reflection,
On the shining mirror.

I see myself smile,
As well as a tear trickling down.
I let out a laugh and I say:
"I am happy."

My fist meets the glass,
Blood flows down,
I smile at it and I say:
"I am happy."

Collapsing on the floor,
Hand to my chest, and unleash my tears to mix with my blood.
I whisper out:
"I am not."

My scream takes over the atmosphere when I realize,
I am tired.
Happiness turned out to be a test.

I gaze at the broken mirror,
My reflection looking back at me,
The searching eyes for that one word people claim to be, "happy."

Tried to search for the meaning.
Apologised for being who I am,
Trying to find what it is...
I lost myself.

The word "Happy" is a curse...
