sadness on my tear stained cheeks
when?
when will I be good enough for myself
for anyone
it is all becoming so overbearing
i can't breathe
the sadness finds its way around my neck
makes the tug of a lifetime
i can't breathe
the depression suffocates me
until there is no more of it
happiness
fiction is all
i can't breathe
the happiness surfs on the ocean of insecurity
and diminishes in the waves
i can't breathe
happiness is like air
without it i can't go on
and suddenly i can't breathe
