A Sad Holiday

My routine eats at me day after 
day it's always the same time 
for some change a different 
light a different perspective a 
different world it's a damn 
shame how this time of year is 
suppose to be the happiest but 
for some odd reasons all I see 
is misery hatred rudeness and 
people wonder why this is my 
least favorite time of year 
what's the point broken family 
in a broken home never really 
been the same see happiness 
and it depresses me wondering 
if I will ever experience that I'm 
a cross between misunderstood 
and confused I want to enjoy 
the holidays but why something 
bad always happens this time a 
year I lose a friend a friendship 
dies family members fight the 
true meaning of christmas it's 
not Santa Claus it's not 
presents its happiness 
forgiveness family and friends 
and all I wanna do is be as far 
away from everyone as I can 
no one needs to see my 
sadness or feel my pain
