• The days I could smile about anything
    The days where you could be happy all the time
    No fear no drama
    Just pure fun
    Everyone just got along
    On the same page
    Like one of those story books
    That you would read over again
    Even though you know that the ending would be happy
    But as your life goes on further


    It’s replaced with
    Tears and sad faces everywhere
    Frowns and people angry for no reason
    People who just don’t know when to shut the hell up
    A scary movie that is mesmerized and playing in your head over and over
    Tears falling down your cheeks
    Just no hope cause of the way people are
    Divided by color orientation and interest
    It just isn’t the same
    A nightmare that won’t go away

    I want to read that story again
    About the happy people
    And how nothing ever went wrong
    But this just isn't a fantasy it’s my reality.
