I often wonder why there is so
much sadness in my life.
Laughter and joy that others possess
is always so evasive to me.

Wondering why when I do find
happiness it is always so short lived.
The feelings of hopelessness and
despair grow stronger with each new day.

A shadow passes over me making me
shiver from the cold and lonely feeling,
as the tears fall with the reality of
a life spent scared and alone.
