PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I haven't been happy 

for quite a while.

I lost who I was;

I forget who I was.

I let trivial things

take over my thoughts.

I allowed my feelings

to dictate my moods.

Living inside myself

was never the answer.

Darkness permeated

and depression pervaded.

When I internalized.

I became my own poison.

Then I started living

for those around me.

Until joy returned 

and hope settled in.

That's when I realized

happiness is loving others.
