Lennon is Right

emotion

Happiness is temporary and
disappointment the only constant.
So take me where I feel less
pain and I will follow in an instant.

Don't make me smile if you
won't when I wake tomorrow.
Don't make me laugh if that
is a laugh I can only borrow.

Tell it to me strait- then push me
away; I cannot live in dreams.
For fantasy is just a bullet in the
gun that silences my screams.

So why am I alone- still,
when all is said and done?
I lay here cold and lonely
while you're out having fun.

It is all because of happiness.
Another drug that you take in.
But this one is far more dangerous
Because it is passions sin.

To want is to desire, and when
needs are met and passions fed
I am still here wanting
while the rest of me is bled.

Give me nothing and set me free
from this endless search for peace.
So that when my time is done my
hurt from you may cease.

F**k happiness, I don't need anymore of that.

I liked this one the most, I think. The lines that particularly struck me were:
"Tell it to me strait- then push me
away; I cannot live in dreams.
For fantasy is just a bullet in the
gun that silences my screams."
The whole poem is just so pained. Again, the emotions you present here are something I can definitely understand. Well done!
