Misery is my Friend

Misery is my Friend

A Poem by Mip/John K. Brierley
"

It can be yours too.

Misery is my friend
it sends me the feeling of being alive
id die to feel like this more
it hurts so much more than anything
It burns my senses but i need it it feels real
everything else is shallow compared to it
love hate anger boredom and god knows where happiness is but none of them measure up
its better than anything else it doesnt feel like a blanket thrown over my brain it takes over
is this how emotion supposed to feel i hope happiness is the exact opposite of this except in the way misery changes me
nothing is small everything stands tall
A fall would be suicide in this state
nothing tastes good when you want to cry but cant
my tears barely fall choosing to hide in my mind
i find them amassing a treasure trove of depression in my brain
now im stained with the tears that wont fal
l im in pain but its good
i feel alive I could die a thousand times and itd feel fake
i feel good when im baked not happy
is it possible good is happy
that its not this big sappy thing everyone wants but a blanket with little hooks to stretch your mouth
Books always end with people being happy but theyve never described happiness
The closest i got to happiness i described as nice needles
who else feels this isnt right
no such as outta sight outta mind
now its outta sight in my mind never leaving
you better believe im f*****g depressed
its one of two emotions i know well and so glad anger is gone
it felt nothing like this
Id say its bliss to be surrounded by emotion but misery isnt really my friend
it sends me on terrible adventures in my mind that make me want to commit suicide
