A Mission

I don’t know if I should feel great
But I quite vividly 
Remember the day
When happiness told me 
It could no longer stay
Because hope packed it’s bags
To chase after faith
Who was on a mission 
To find out why 
To this life 
Did she just give up and say:
"Take it all
Happiness, joy, love, and  hope
What good will they do me anyway
I’ve always kept strong
But nothing ever stays"
So loneliness thought 
These pieces of me were 
There to sabotage
Forgetting 
It was depression
Who had very sharp claws
Gripping desperation
Of a soul
Self deemed lost
So to be honest most days
I don’t feel so great
It's probably because 
I’m still looking for my faith
I thought 
Practicing playing hope 
Might magically
Make happiness come back
That’s definitely one
I wished 
Didn’t leave me all alone with sad
Since anger has been here
Its created many structures
That hold no space for hope
It will take all my good traits
To deconstruct and repair 
The hopeless homes 
That held despair
Doubt and hate
Leveling out the foundation
For hope, faith, love, and joy to stay
