I Am Happy

When will it end, This falseness So pretend. Misleading lies retold to get a point across But which of these lies are legitimately covered up? transparent with factual truth to seem like in the end this lie, This lie must be true. This is what she must do. Listen to you? Man.. You gotta be outta your mind if it's that what you honestly think I'll do, is sit and listen to you Someone who knows nothing what goes on inside These emotions- they run and hide, Killing the pride The emotion the guilt the lie I have to always uncover because of the coward, Unable to sit and discuss Scared to beat emotions, bruise thoughts Well news flash It already hurts Already bleeds How must I succeed If I can't make anyone proud. The fact is it's ignored There's always better but isn't that a cliche Anyone could have better? What if my better was your worse And vice versa like a curse, Should I still take orders, take the lies, take the gossip Cause right now I'm sailing off this ship Ready to jump off-fall Lose this all And maybe after all this thought Maybe once it's thought through That the falseness The pretend are ruining it, ruining what could be Maybe Just maybe You should trust me.

Hi Sara, the relevance of the topic, to the body of your poem eludes me, how could you be happy going through all that, unless, of course you are connected to The Holy One, but overall, a disturbing and deep write. Your words are saying there are a lot of hurt, distrust, lies and pretence going on there. Be strong and lean not on your own understanding, but trust God to guide you through whatever it is you are facing. Blessings, my friend. Joy (Jew)
