The sun used to shine on me,
there used to be a fluffily clouded sky.
I knew about something called happy.
I always knew just where I wanted to be.
That sun is gone,
replaced by night.
those clouds now carry low thunder,
I only know misery and fright
and I don't even recognize me.
Somewhere in between
something got forgotten and lost
the key to my soul
was replaced by a lock.
I can tell of the deep, dull crevice
I have let myself crawl into
but no one has asked.
If it were wished,
I would count the cold tears I've shed
but none of it would matter,
there would still be
the lost happy I don't remember

you describe my life perfectly, i used to know what happiness meant but that was a VERY long time ago. I have been running from myself from the day my hapiness was "stolen" but now i have found happiness again, i never thought one person could make such a huge difference in life. we have been friends for 5 months now and she has given me the curage to face my life and stop running. i can't describe the feeling of beeing happy for the first time in eight years! thx for this poem you put my life in to wordsin a way i would never beable to do and i hope all of you who feels the same will find happiness again.

This poem really touched me deeply I even cried while reading it because I am going through that situtation. I use to live in New York i was born and raised there even though i lived in a small apartment and shared a bedroom with my two sisters i was beyond happy. Than we moved to Florida a year ago and nothing was the same. I felt as if that poem was almost made just for me because i feel as the writer does.

I know what it is like to go from a happy and productive world to a world where nothing matters and there is only dread.
Daniel
Im not a poem person, but i i really feel that this poem has described to me how i feel better than i could have described in a 1000 pages. Thanks
Tiffany
This poem was REALLY well written, showing the feeling, making you feel without really feeling the reality of the feeling!
Nick
I think your poem rocked and it really makes you think about life and how fast it can pass you by if you let it i think you should definitly keep writing

It's great to come across a poem that I can understand and enjoy, and that has something to say to my own personal situation.
Andrew
being "happy", like most things, is never fully appreciated untill it's lost. You expressed that point well. I respect this piece and can relate.
