Chronicles of a Teenager

If there is anything I want more than success
That thing is joy
Money and success is nothing
If you don't have joy
Last time I felt joy in me
I was a child
I found a way to handle situations
I found happiness whenever I lost it.

My teenage life is nothing like that
There's pressure from everywhere
People expecting a lot from me
Me always putting other people's happiness above me
Me constantly getting anxiety
Getting depressed and forever smiling
But making sure everyone else is happy
Simply because I don't want them to go through the same thing I go through
I just want to get happy again
But again it won't happen
Whenever something happens, I'm not disappointed anymore
It is how my normal life is
Just full of disappointments.
