Why can't I be happy? Is it because i don't know what i want? I don't know if i want to be alone or in a crowd. I don't know if i want to be in quite or where it is loud.   Is it because i don't know where i want to be? I don't know if i want to be with you or with someone new. I don't know if i want to be in a club or in a church pew. Is it because i don't know what it is like to be me? I don't know what i like, who i want, or where i would like to be. So, how can i be happy if i don't know myself? Or even have thoughts of ending myself? I assume that i cannot be happy. Maybe this is me.
