In the forest where the birds chirp by,
I stare longingly at their smiles.
Jealously crawls it's way in,
And I try to send it miles away.
I see it flow away,
Down the hills it goes and I wish it would never return.
But I've been wishing for things I can't have,
I've been wishing too long that it drives me mad.
Still I wish for it to go,
And take with it all the pain within.
But it flows too deep to ever not bother me again.
Sighing I make my way,
Away from the constant ache.
Again it's another foolish wish,
Something that could never be true again.
It's a sad world,
I realise.
And what's sadder is how we make it so,
Smiles don't hurt but pain does.
But all we want to do is feel the pain.
It's our choices that make us who we are,
We can choose to be happy or be sad.
It's all within.
Still I choose the pain,
At least it's better than all the fake happiness and the constant feign.
