Jealousy of My Pain
Listen to poem:
I say it this way because I'm just trying to be happy
I don't wear a sad face because my life is crappy
Haven't you heard it said to turn your pain into power
Think about every rough seed turned into a flower
When you look at me you think I have the best life
You would never see the tears that I cried last night
You look at me and wonder what keeps me smiling
Thinking about the negative would keep you frowning
I choose to make sweet lemonade out of my lemons
A person smiling isn't revealing their true feelings
I'm going through a whole lot it's just you can't tell
Who actually goes around broadcasting how they fail
It seems to irritate you that I'm always full of joy
I'm dealing with my demons why are you so annoyed
Do you rather see me down full of hurt and sadness
That's what causes suicide holding in all that madness
Seeing a better side of your situation keeps you sane
Jealousy of my happiness is jealously of my pain
