Already Gone

I am happy. I love myself, and everyone around me.

Everybody loves me, along with myself. 

I am beautiful, no matter what people say. I feel wonderful inside.

I have many friends and family, who are always there for me.

I never punish myself in anger.

I want to live.

I am happy.

Replace all the underlined words with their opposites, and you will get what too many are thinking these days.

Think,

before you tear someone down.

Because for many people, including myself,

it is easy to be happy.

 

Author's Note

By what I said at the bottom, the story is not ME, but... It's hard to stay positive sometimes.

I like what you are trying to do, but I think it still needs a bit of work. The experimentation with the underlining is creative, but maybe withholding the explanation would give your work more mystery and depth. Just my humble opinion.

[Calypso]

I think the way you went about this poem was unique.

[Maddie:]]

creative idea with format. also liked the life lesson it included at end, this was very captivating and the end definitely startled me! nice job, enjoyed this piece! :]

[FadingShadow]

So true

[mamachansensei]

But this too will pass. Nothing stays the same for long.

I love the last stanza. It had a strong impact on me. Great job! ;)

I think the point at the bottom really needs to be shared with more people (Also, if you got a read request for this poem, from me, and you have already read it, and maybe even already reviewed it, it's because I sent it to all my friends {I think i even messed up and sent it back to Bitter, fail?})

Sigh I am rather bitter towards happiness but then again no one really knows true happiness for we are only human which means we'd just want more and never be satisfied with happy alone we'd always want to be frigging extatic all the time..This piece is rather good thanks for sharing this made me think a lil more than I should be right now.
