The switch


Often times, I wish I could find the switch to my mood, A place where I get to turn off the sadness that's consuming me so deeply, My heart aches and the tears that flows from my eyes while I'm in pains have never made me feel better, I want the pain to stop and all I could think of is seizing to exist, Perhaps that is what I seek, perhaps that is the way to achieve the peace I so much crave, Today, I know why I'm sad, Tomorrow, I know not why I'm sad, Maybe I deserve it but who really deserves having their joy stolen away without notice.
