Hey, I want to report a theft


Of what?


My happiness


When did you see it last?


Oh, some many months passed.
Although there's been some
possible sightings since


Where and when were these possible sightings?


Its hard to be exact, not sure if we're dealing with facts but there's been a few laughs and a few smiles, not sure if they're reliable, some under the influence and all


Hmm, did you have any insurance?

Confidence and faith I guess. But the risk assessment wasn't enough, low self esteem means there wasn't enough to cover the cost.

Any possible perpetrators?

Top of the list
That first relationship
Yeah that's when it started to slip
When I realised nothing lied behind the promise.

All the upset subsequently that I worry has changed my personality, decimated my already shaky self esteem and maybe it's because I can't accept that I allowed that to come to be

Or maybe it's just a hormonal blip


Maybe I just couldn't hold onto it


Maybe it's because I let fear dictate who I will be


Maybe it's cause I shun responsibility


Maybe I secretly like being unhappy


Maybe I  just don't know how to be


Maybe it's the momentum I never capitalized on 


Maybe cause I always stay too long
In places and situations I've long outgrown


Maybe its the depression

Maybe cause when that dark cloud descends I can't appreciate anything


Maybe it's cause I give up on friends, I give up on everything and when that happens I can find fault in an angel (no wings)


Maybe it's cause I'm preoccupied by the Wrong things


Maybe it's because I overthink


Maybe it's the drink


Maybe it's because I've got too much time on my hands


Maybe its cause they don't understand


Maybe it's the isolation


Maybe it's because I gave up on trying to be strong


Maybe cause I can't take when things go wrong


Maybe its cause I refuse to give up my ideals


Maybe it's cause I can't live up to them myself


Maybe it's because I'm unfulfilled


Maybe it's because I don't tell people how I really feel


Maybe it's cause I bottle things up

Maybe it's cause I take things to heart

Maybe it's cause I run out of luck

Maybe its cause I stopped giving a ****

Maybe it's cause I care too much


Or Maybe just maybe go back to the top


It's all connected you see,
Domino effecting you see

Cause surely
It must take a group effort to rob me
Of something I hold so dearly


But hopefully with a group effort
it will be restored back to me
I'm sure we could all find many reasons for being unhappy but if you're looking for one to be happy it's simply this...it feels better. It feels better to love than to hate, it feels better to forgive than to resent, it feels better to laugh than to cry. But I guess bad times just make the good times that much sweeter
