Never Really Happy

A Poem by lynne

How I've been feeling lately

Memories spinning through my head

are the only things that keep me alive.

Knowing that the past is over

makes it harder to accept.

There is a goal in front of me

that I have yet to find.

I want to hold on to the people I love.

To my friends.

To my family.

But lately,

there has been so much

weighing down on me.

I want to go back to that spring time,

when there was nothing

but smiling faces all around.

But the reality is

that those days are gone.

So if you ever see me smiling,

don't be surprised

if it's a forced smile.

Because it probably is.

All I ever wanted

was a friend to call my own.

A friend that would accept

all my faults.

A friend that would always be with me.

That was all I ever wanted.

Is that too much to ask for?

People always wonder

why I'm not happy.

But the answer to that question

couldn't be anymore obvious.

I'm not happy

because I'm lonely.

Author's Note

I just sort of threw this together off the top of my head. I just needed to get these thoughts written down.

My dear Lynne, you and I share the same feelings. I think we can all agree that life is unfair at times and the things we look for are nowhere to be seen, but you must belive that their there. Just belive it will be ok :)

I know how you feel Lynne...as does everyone else...here's the difference between you and me..you're 16 and I'm 63....you have a life time to find that friend and many more. So don't become desperate or sad that they're not there for you right now....have faith they will be...
Continue to walk with a smile and erect....be proud of who you are and what you have to offer....
Great write Lynne
