Happiness
I try to be nice,
I try to be kind,
but lately there's only one thing,
That I have come to find.
I pretend to be happy,
It's how I want others to feel.
But how can I put there,
a feeling that is not real?
Happiness is merely a mask,
a face to replace the pain,
Nothing more than a bandage,
to keep us from going insane.
They say the holidays are a time for family,
a time for joy and for cheer...
But how can I be happy,
When my family is not here?
I've got parents, relatives and friends,
Followers whom I will love, until the very end,
but I'm still missing someone, who is the most important in my life...
I'm missing the girl, who I shall call my wife.
So why should I stay happy?
Why should I act like something I'm not?
Why do I feel so crappy?
What is my purpose? What is the plot?
Done...

The last line on the first stanza seems off, and by the time I got to the question in the second stanza I just can't back into it.It answers alot of it's own questions and leave very little to think about. Then you get to the last stanza the four questions are left up to the reader 'feel' out their own answer.
While in stiff flurry of a long distance romance, it may hit home with someone. But if you've left it, I see no point.
Nothing but love for you,but no love for this poem. sorry - Report As Spam
