My Happy Ending

Change is necessary. Happiness, impossible
How bad does it have to get before you make the changes?
You comfort the crushed ones always with the future
Why is it sometimes I can’t see your side of exchanges

Look down on me, see my bitterness, see my hate
See my effort, my tears, my constant plea for joy
How do I possibly get up from this ever-lasting fall
When I’m like a character that the director plans to destroy

My place in life is like a child’s broken old toy
In the corner, forgotten; when found, will be discarded
Every hopeless moment of fear, sadness, and depression
Feels like they’ve been looked upon and disregarded 

How bad does it have to get before you make the changes?
I fantasize about my happy ending, where I can fade away with a smile
How is it that death is much more appealing than life?
How sad that I long for it, my ideal happy ending, I've waited for a while

It's weird how u never know what's inside someone's heart until it breaks and all the emotions spill out. Wow, that was poetic. Im going to write to that. I love how you opened up. You gave us a window into your existence and I cant speak for everyone else, but i truly and deeply appreciate it. Thank You.
