This is another piece from my past.
One of my shorter pieces.
Dreaming
Today I dream.
Dream of a better life.
No confusion,
No heartache.
A life without complications,
A life that doesn't exist.
Events occur in this life.
They change my perspective,
But not my negativity.
Good things don't happen to me,
When they do,
Something bad is always there.
Happiness is fleeting,
And comes with a price.
To become attached,
Is to invite disappointment.
Eventually the bad will come,
My happiness never remains.
Too many complications,
I'm in over my head.
What am I doing here?
I'm too happy,
It can't remain.
The depression will return.
