A Happy Thought for the Unhappy

The last inch of happiness on this Earth.

I need to escape

This town, this state, this country.

This place is tainted with bad memories,

And bad people.

A forgotten soul rests on this land,

And no one cares who she is.

She wishes that there was someone

Out there who cared.

But why should they?

She has not done anything spectatcular,

She is merely a wisp of smoke in a fire.

She is a drop of water in the ocean,

Unnoticed, unwanted, undone.

 

This plague is upon her;

She is sick of everything,

But there is no solution to the cancer in her heart.

There is no cure for worthlessness.

Should she try to becomee someone?

Or should she fade away?

She decides to run.

Run far away from here.

Run from everyone,

From everything.

They say running is not the answer,

But they have never felt this way.

So she runs until the edge of the Earth.

Until life ceases to exist.

She runs from this life, hoping to find another.

 

When she finds no where else to run,

She sits on the edge of the Earth.

Her feet dangle into the dark place below her.

She sits there for days, months, years.

Staring at the blank page in front of her.

She feels nothing,

She is a numb spirit

That holds no grace.

This is where she belongs,

Nowhere.

It is the sanctuary of the dead,

And for the first time

She smiles.

Because she knows whats next.

She smiles for the Earth,

For the lonely people,

For the angels that haunt the skies,

For everyone who's ever seen the dark side of the moon.

She smiles the most beautiful smile,

And she jumps.

She flies into the nothingness,

As happy as she ever was

And ever will be.

She is the symbol of us,

And we are the lost souls.

The ones who will never be happy,

Never feel pain,

Always numb.
