Sometimes, happiness isn't found within us.
It's the slow music flowing through the air
Or the smell of tea when the morning came.

Sometimes, happiness isn't found within us.
It comes as our loved ones laugh
Or the delight expression of an old friend.

Sometimes, happiness isn't found within us.
It sparks as we send a gift to those in need
Or when we make jokes that sound pretty old to our ears.

Sometimes, happiness isn't found within us.
It's the smile of others
When we appear before their doorstep
Or the warm hugs they give
And the soft whispers they make.

A boy with shiny eyes once asked: How did that fearless warriors meet? / and I said with pitiful smile, it started like this:

The world sighed and they were born with tragedy running in their hellish veins, / weeping at the glowing moon, the sleeping sky and the shooting stars. / Between bloodied knuckles and streaming tears and trembled hand. / They were taught of breaking hearts and souls, since there were no kisses since born.

They met and the angels shrieked. / Her eyes were made of fading fogs and sleepless nights and it made him wanting to draw himself inside it. / His skin was made of battle scars and broken hearts and the metallic smell on his skin hardened her soul, / and it tasted like a sweet, sugar coated kiss in her mouth. / He became a wolf, crying at the hollowness of a lonely moon in the sky. She became a killer, breaking rules and all. / They grinned endless wars, dancing tip-tap-toe with naked eyes. / They knew they were not meant to be but they keep dancing anyway.

They kissed and the red lilies hissed. / The universe inside her cracked open wide, / he was just another visitor with haunting ghosts passing by. / He promised to tell her the stories of stars, / but God decided otherwise, / then she collapsed in his arms choking blood and left a last whimper behind.

The wolf boy howled into the vacuous air and the trees shriveled / "I am no devil but why is the world hurts so bad, / its blood showering my skin and it makes my flesh burning the light." / One of the ghosts inside his head replied / "There is never a bright sun in your heart, darling. / You are made of darkness so void ran throughout your veins."

I. Be brave and have a journey to the darkness within. Use your matches as weapons and knives as swords, for his weakness is light and light only, fears by the thing that make him sink into the nothingness of the unforgiving world.

II. Do not sing nor whistle, for he is afraid of quietude and silence. If you sing lullabies, he will be right ahead you in a blink. He's all alone in the darkness and need more friends to play with skeletons. The emptiness within his chest is unbearable, more vicious than ever.

III. Do not trust the whisperers in your head, even if they give you visions of beauty and the dream of world you yearn of. Do not let them control your mind, for they will crush your skull, scratch your skin like paper.

IV. When you see an innocent child with curious eyes. Do not come to it. I repeat: do not come near. If it recognizes you, you run. You run and run and run until your throat chokes and chest jolts. Do not look back. Do not stop. It will blame you of bitter mistakes and haunted pasts, and the ghosts will stay with you even if you scream hard.

V. If you've been in the darkness for too long, come look at the mirror.

VI. The monster is in you.
Sometimes the monster that we fear most lives inside us.

My sadness isn't beautiful
It doesn't invite a boy
With galaxies in his eyes
And flowers in his lips
Unlike the romance told me

My sadness isn't beautiful
It made the hole out of you
Sink by darkness
That won't let you go

My sadness isn't beautiful
The darkness inside me
Whispers death
But the tiny voice in me
Screams survival

My tragedy isn't beautiful
As Shakespeare and poetry told me
And when I screamed for heroes
No one came
So I had to
Become one

— The End —
