Happy

I'm afraid to be happy

so I push away

those who love me,

scared that it isn't true.

 

I want to be better

but I find myself

being the same bitter

person no matter what.

 

Can I get through 

the dark days?

This world around me

won't go away.

 

I let it seep into

my heart even though 

I know I shouldn't

and the cycle continues.

 

I just can't bring 

myself to be happy

in the things I should 

be content with.
