Why?
I’m supposed to be happy
And I am
But when I’m alone
My happiness turns to sadness
And it keeps getting worse
The happier I am
The sadder I get
Why am I so sad if I’m so happy?
Why do I want to take my razor,
And watch the blood run down my leg
If I’m happy?
What does happiness even mean?
My guess is
Happiness is the sadness going away
Just for a bit
Because no matter how happy we are
The sadness will come back
Twice as much as when we were happy
Why does it come back?
Why must it hurt me so?
I just want the sadness to go away.
And I am
But when I’m alone
My happiness turns to sadness
And it keeps getting worse
The happier I am
The sadder I get
Why am I so sad if I’m so happy?
Why do I want to take my razor,
And watch the blood run down my leg
If I’m happy?
What does happiness even mean?
My guess is
Happiness is the sadness going away
Just for a bit
Because no matter how happy we are
The sadness will come back
Twice as much as when we were happy
Why does it come back?
Why must it hurt me so?
I just want the sadness to go away.

This is so good.. You've got talent girl.. I really like the contrast, and the back and forth.. The positive, and the negative.. Well written..

Still surprises me to this day that so much can be said by so few words.
