HAPPY PLACE

There was a beautiful place
Lying just below the rainbow
It was called happy place
It wasn't just any old place
It was a place fill with
Children, no adults
The children had some responsivities'
But they mainly laughed and
Played various games all day, they played
Without a care in the world
Because happy place was guarded
By a machine called sunshine and sparkles
They were told never to cut the machine off
Not for any reason, But one day an
Older child appeared at the entrance
He seemed to be badly hurt so
They paused the machine to let
The child inside, even though they
Were told not to ever touch the machine
Once the child was inside, he looked around
With an evil smirk on his face
When they realized that he wasn't hurt at all
They scrambled to turn the sunshine and 
Sparkles machine back on but was to late
The child begins to sing some kind of weird song
And the machine kept cutting off and on
The children began to feel the effects
They weren't happy anymore they were sad
And lonely, the older child seems to gain in power 
And strength by sucking the happiness from 
Their bodies, but one child noticed 
When the machine cut on the stranger loses
His strength, so just as the machine turns off
The young boy, runs into the older stranger and
Knocks him back through the entrance of
Happy place, the machine jumps on and stays
Not allowing the stranger back inside, even though
He made several attempts to get back inside
He stood in front of the entrance and lets out
A scream that could be heard around the world
Then suddenly disappears
