We search for happiness in many ways,

it is the holy grail of our existence.

Our loves, our jobs, our way of life,

are all included in the expected mix.



Some are fortunate to put it all together,

but alas there are those who eventually fail.

They think that life has let them down,

and search for ways to deal with the pain.



Depression takes over to fill their souls,

causing anguish and heartache within.

Turning the loss onto themselves,

using razors, booze, or drugs for release.



Still others take it to a tragic end,

unable to deal with that missing in life.

Attempting to find it where they're not,

snuffing out their life in a greater hope.



Let's pray they find the end to their quest,

gaining the peace and tranquillity they deserve.

Otherwise their effort has gone on for not,

and they just lay rotting in their graves.
