Elusive Happiness

Folder: 
Depressed

I see happiness,
Swirling around me,
Washing over my head,
But never flowing in me,
I see it,
In everyone else,
Their laughs natural,
Their souls carefree,
And all I feel,
Is deep loathing,
I loath it all,
But more than anything,
I loath myself,
I see happiness,
I see the eddies,
I jump into the wave,
Yet it parts before me,
I scream and I thrash,
I tried so hard,
But happiness eludes me,
And I've given up,
Trying to find it,
People look at me,
And they see a coldness,
An absence of warmth,
And they turn away,

go ahead and part the red sea

Alot of what we do is mundane and not much fun,
relish the moments when "you" are happy
as far as the the rest of us that is our own domain. Fuck us if we can't take a joke...

"The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." -- George Bernard Shaw
"i'm happy just to be off my feet."--Dylan Eliot
GBS has nothing on me...


"One of the best results of life, is the torment of love"

happiness doesn't really

happiness doesn't really matter; it comes and goes all the time and never stays with you for long......as long as you can get by, life will run its path


"What is this world but a dream that a sleeper sees - he delights in it for a few moments, and then wakes up to face reality"
