“Happiness”

I’m stuck in a life without happiness or love,

Now i’ve slipped into a life worse then alcohol, or drugs.

A life when you don’t want to open your eyes,

When you do, visions blurred with disappointment and lies.

Haven’t shaved, haven’t showered, haven’t been downstairs.

Had the same nightmare for 19 years.

A box with holes, chains, and locks surround it.

Filling with water and i’m constantly drowning.

Because this world’s so fucked,

No one can get around it.

You say your life’s good, and i’ll be quick to doubt it.

If you locate happiness, tell me where you found it.

Write that shit down, and tell me all about it.

    Your work truly captivates me – - raw & real – - you hold nothing back and that\’s why I love it.

    Blessings.

    Sincerely,

    p.s. It\’s rare for me to find poetry that really makes me stop and sit up and want to re-read each line. Each line is wonderful…
