Day after day you sit alone in your room.
Staring at the ceiling, feeling only gloom.
Then you want to say that everything's okay.
But that's not what you wanted to say.
Every second that you want to die.
You decide to smile instead of cry.
You laugh and laugh then later you hide.
You laugh as hard as you can but you cry inside.
You lie to yourself and say you're happy as can be.
But you cry alone where no one can see.
You want to laugh but you can't and you don't know why.
You can't be happy because you don't talk you just cry.
When someone asks what's wrong you just say it's all okay.
But that's not what you want to say
Then you sit alone and you cry.
A person praying for happiness, but wishing to die.

this made me laugh, because in the paradoxes/ contradictions the positive parts are true, and i was thinking "nu uh" almost every line, good write.
