Her happy wasn't happy. She didn't have happy. She had sadness. Or she had nothingness. and the nothingness was so much worse than the sadness. Feeling nothing at all was worse than the most excruciating pain she had ever been through. It tortured her more than all those nights of crying herself to sleep. It ate at her more than all her tormentors' words. And it left more scars than all her cuts. Her happy wasn't happy. It was sadness, because the alternative was  nothingness.

Her Happy Wasn't Happy
Her happy wasn't happy. She didn't have happy. She had sadness. Or she had nothingness. and the nothingness was so much worse than the sadness. Feeling nothing at all was worse than the most excruciating pain she had ever been through. It tortured her more than all those nights of crying herself to sleep. It ate at her more than all her tormentors' words. And it left more scars than all her cuts. Her happy wasn't happy. It was sadness, because the alternative was  nothingness.
I'm going to be reposting a new and improved version of this later.
