Happy never meant happiness

My mind is exhausted….it’s constantly running.. 

 

Headaches fueling my caution telling me to take precautions…

 

But I don’t listen begging for my brain to rethink its decision…

 

How can I cut the string which connects you and I? 

 

With the  knife you put in my back when you said goodbye…

 

Having feelings…I’m unaccustomed… 

 

But night turns to day as my hands hold your face…

 

Eyes like the sun, brings light to my life 

 

Smile like the ocean, seems shallow but step too much and you might drown…

 

Oh how stupid I’ve been you repeatedly told me how little I’ve become but foolishly I turned my back and chose to be blind

 

I wanted to mean so much to the point where I discarded reality 

But soon the pieces fell into place and the truth was shoved into my face I’m…disappointed 

 

My last gleaming light of hope…was blown out now I can truly say I trust no one

 

The people whom I held the closed the people to which my heart was always exposed trampled like nothing without a second thought 

 

So now there’s really nothing left I’m empty and to think I chose you to be my family you were what “happy” meant to me 

 

And now? I can’t even read the word

 

I’m disgusted by now naive I’ve been to think what I pour out may be reciprocated 

 

Believed a bond to be strong but it was a two way mirror only I could seen in on one side while you hide behind the other and mock my gullibility 

 

My sincerity was misplaced and my effort was misused thank god he washed my eyes cause now I’m cutting the string that ties us what’s even sadder is…I’m the only one who’ll feel it

Thought provoking piece.

Happiness is a state of being
When we achieve our goals and dreams
It may mean different things to different beings
For some Happiness is materialistic well being
For others it could be soul's contentment and peace
