a bitter sweet symphony,
is being conducted within me,
a melancholic madness,
maddening my mind..
i search in circles,
but can never seem to find,
  this missing piece,
that tears me to pieces,
strings me along,
dancing, when i don't even like the beat..
yet, it's stuck on repeat,
taunting me, awaiting my defeat..
  silly puppet master,
you've got it all wrong,
this is my story,
& i will sing my song.
muffling your voice,
I've decided happiness..
is a choice.
