The Misery Drum

This world is full of dark places 
Horrible, cold and unfeeling spaces
Where misery haunts us like a drum
Beating silently with no true form 

But in every miserable dark place
There is always a familiar face 
One who can make your day 
Who makes you want to stay 

The beating of the misery drum
Becomes a faint and distant hum
As the happy sound of laughter 
Averts your attention from disaster 

Here, there is no happily ever after 
As sadness is a looming factor 
Of this existence that we're gifted 
But one day all sadness will be lifted 

As all the patience that we showed 
Earns rewards beyond what we're owed.
