Happiness Might Be Mine


For so long I suffered, a prolonging pain

now I feel something that I cant explain. 

Its like a fire, a light, a burst, 

but for some reason it might be worse

worse than the sad, the mad, the rain

worse than that everlasting pain. 

this feeling i feel wont go away

so the people see it and they prey

the call me out, instill me with fear

this feeling inside me is something they dont want to hear.
