Happiness

i cant be responsible.
ten times more pressure.
that i cant take.
i want to run. 
& never stop.
i want to leave.
& never come back.
i don't know what to do.
this pain is never ending.
why wont it just stop?
i remember being happy.
really & truly happy.
it was amazing.
no pressure.
no tears.
no problems.
just amazement.
of course 
it didn't last.
it quickly faded.
why?
i don't know.
ever since then
me being happy is about as rare as a chicken flying.
one day
i know ill be happy again.
i don't know when.
& i don't know why.
i just know.
