Happy Ending
A mirror shows reflection
Yet can also be distorted
The sun shines light
Yet can also cast a shadow
A river flows and air gives life
Yet can also be polluted
Love fills the heart with kindness and joy
Yet that can be diluted
I try to think of something
That will put a smile on my face
I get off to a good start
But then my smile dissipates
For some reason
All good things bring misery
All the love I've ever known
Always ends terribly
All the efforts I have shown
Prove to work ineffectively
All the years that I have grown
This happens repeatedly
Now because of this
It's hard for me to start
A new relationship
And open up my heart
Once I realize I am beautiful
on the inside and out
A grey cloud comes
And confuses me with doubt
It's not like I'm asking for a fairy tale story
I just want some glory
And to lose my despair
I am so distraught
It's like I sold my soul to the devil
But I was never told
Can I buy it back?
I just found out that it was sold.
I hold the burdon of every bodies pain
To ease their tears
Their pain is what I gain
Because of this I ask for just one thing
And that one thing could only be
Something called a happy ending
