Farewell to Happiness

What makes up the broad feelings that come over somebody known as emotion?
Something funny generally makes somebody laugh, does it not?
And something beautiful usually makes somebody smile, no?
It is only natural that we comply to these feelings, these emotions
But seemingly enough, at this very moment I am not compliant
The sensation of something soft makes me cringe, as the thought of laughing brings me disgust
If it is so inherently normal to feel such emotions as love and joy, then why do I not?
Am I not as other beings around me are?
Can I no longer think of past memories and smile upon them?
It seems there is but one thing left to do before I lift this solid black ink from this paper
And as much it causes me grief and sorrow to write these darkening and appaling words
I will leave, with a farewell
To happiness

Jdge truthfully please

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    Look for the beauty and the love and you will find it. The piece was well-written. Good job.

    Describes well the empty, emotionless feeling of a lot of depression, including my own. It's hard to deal with; seeing everyone laughing and smiling and not even understanding what there is to smile about.

    As for the poem, it was good, though the flow was slightly off. I suggest cutting it up some, making some singular lines more than one to create a better flow.

    Very Nice

    I liked this write of yours. I mean it has such an intensity to it that it really makes this quite interesting. I do like the idea behind this poem and the over all contrast and the general subjectation for this poem too. its amazing how such a poem of this caliber is so powerful and very surreal. either way quite a good write
