Happiness

I cry In the inside

With no tears falling from my eyes

A smile upon my lips

Fake is what it is

You'd think I'd learned my lesson

Through all the counselling sessions

But no progress ever shows

I just tell them what they want to be told

The memories they haunt me

The past it taunts me

Always so present

A tragic story and I've already read it

Could you show me a love story?

Preferably something boring.

It seems action isn't for me

And scary just isn't my thing

Let me read of happiness, and live it too

I don't want Cinderella and her perfect shoe

I don't want Prince to save me or yell to a tower

I just don't want my past to have all the power

Give me happiness, it's all i want

Cause it seems pain is all I've got.

Be yourself and stay happy. You do not need to be the fake one. Life always does not fulfill your desire, yet we move on. Nice poem dear.

Happiness is fleeting. Even in it's truest pursue- we should seek virtue instead.
Hoping for contentment for you.

Smile Every things going your way just say a prayer and pray for a new day I can relate to such sorrow and such pain I lived with it for many Years and they told me it was up to me to feel happy once again so I put my life on track and got into somethings I loved to do like writings and photography of Plants and insects Flowers and butterflies I work on poems during the winter and use my pictures I took over the spring summer and Fall to tell stories of life and all I even us my Imagination and make up stories about nature when I'm not quit sure of the truth But I make it interesting to the reader and I get followers of sorts.

I liked the want and the need of the poetry.
"Give me happiness, it's all i want
Cause it seems pain is all I've got."
The emptiness and the loneliness is felt in the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
