Happiness is a feeling that defeats me
An illusion that only I can't see
There's a feeling stirring inside of me
A dark cloud I've repressed for as long as can be
Every day I feel it taking over me
If not, before too long, it will control all of me
Nobody seems to notice
They walk by unaware, with happiness on their lips and love in their eyes
But they can't see me
I barely exist on their plain
I'm drifting ever further away
It's a life I fear I'll never see
It's almost out of reach for me
Happiness seems so rare to me
Is there someone out there willing to bring it to me?
I don't think I have the strength to find it within me
Because that's where I've been told it should be

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
