What is there to be happy about?

Does anyone even care?
Do they realize something's wrong?
Can't they see what's happening here?
No one knows how I truly feel.
No one even cares.

They all run around
trying to keep everything in their lives straight.
My life is so full of misery.
Yet I try to help them when something's wrong,
but they don't even notice when something's wrong with me.

Is it my fault?
Or is it just something that was accidentally looked over?
Thoughts of why something's wrong in the first place
are running around in a now empty space.
My thoughts are pretty much blank.

Maybe it's the stress I'm under...
Maybe it's because I don't open up...
But normally I can't stop thinking.
Now there's just a void of empty space.
When I try to think about what's wrong...  Everything stops.

I wasn't meant to think about
why my life's so horrible.
I was meant to think about
why my life's so great...
But what is there to be happy about?

Author notes

this has absolutely no signifigance in my life what so ever...  i just wrote what came to mind...  at first it was meant to be about my life but it changed around after i waited a day to finish it.  i had written the first stanza one day then the next four the next day so yea...  it changed in my mind on how i wanted it to be so yea...

    This is awesome!! As I've already told you, this reminds me a lot of something I would write, except in a different form. Even if you do say you don't feel this way, I think it's wonderful how you can express something you aren't even feeling in such a descriptive way.
