That happiness
I once possessed
I cannot find that happiness.
Even the fake smile
I once used
Has faded away.
Instead, I'm left crying
Day after day.
The tears in my eyes
Never seem to leave.
I'm always carrying
My heart on my sleeve.
That happiness
I once possessed
I cannot find
That happpiness.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
