Happiness

I wish I knew how to be happy but I haven't got a clue, I guess I'm just lacking the same stuff you have in you, I must have been born with out those feelings installed, Or there was a malfunction and those feelings got recalled, Cause no matter how hard I try I'm always depressed, No matter how much I cry the pain inside still exists, There's been pain in my heart since I was nine or ten, I tried my best to make my dad proud but there was no pleasing that man, Everything I did could have been a little bit better in his eyes, So many night I sat in my room with watery eyes trying not to cry, Why did he hate me? When I did the best I could, And now he's gone so I'll never know why I wasn't any good, I wish I could talk to someone but I doubt I would be understood, I wouldn't know how to explain the pain even if I could, So I'll just have to live with the fact that my happiness is broke, And try and hide the pain from family and friends by telling jokes, Maybe in death I'll finally learn to smile and laugh, But as for now I'll just have to keep trying to do my best. ~DM2~

Daniel, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Sorry if this is a little late I've been busy with stuff haven't been as free lately and as far as my skill level I'm going to go with novice. I started writing songs mostly hip hop, that's why all I do is rhyme's, about 26 years ago and recently it went from song writing to poetry . I will be more then happy to check out your stuff I will be super busy until Monday so might have to wait till then and

Thank you for your welcome! I don't know about accomplished writer as I only write as a hobby when I'm bored. Most of my stuff comes from real life experiences and can be dark and sad. Again thank you for your kind words and I hope to see you around and read some of your work! ~DM2~
