Unreal

Tears on my face pouring down like the rain 
A past that always haunts me like a stubborn stain 
Heart tore to pieces in so much pain 
Lips on my face that  no longer smile 
Laughter in my soul not heard in a while 
Spirit so beaten it refuses to stand 
Future so far I can't grasp in my hand 
Things happen in life I  don't comprehend 
I wish I could write nice sappy poems 
Of love and the future, and a house that's a home 
Tired of replaying this same sad song 
Not being so weak and standing up strong 
 Then I would be writing of things I don't feel 
Then this poem would be something that to me is not real

I can feel your desire for happiness in your poem. If writing makes you feel the least bit better, I encourage you to continue writing.
