How do you face your happy place when the world around you goes mad?
How do you place happiness on your face when all you want to feel is sad?
Where do you go when you know that the world just lets you drown?
How do you know where you can go, so that you simply won’t be found?
I can appreciate that life has its ups and downs,
But lately, I have been overcome with sadness,
A feeling that this is a world where I do not belong.
Memories are evoked by a smell or a sound,
But lately, they are sinking me into madness,
And the sadness, normally fleeting is prolonged.
And I am afraid through it all, I won’t be found,
And I am afraid that there is no light in the blackness,
What if madness is all there is, and we simply can’t hold on?
And when I fall to my knees, suffering my pleas, trying to cope and to be strong.
Suffer me please, beggar my needs, give me hope when all hope seems gone.
Sometimes it is not enough to be tough, and you simply can’t do it on your own.
It’s tough to admit you aren’t enough, we are happier when we are not alone.
