Happy

A Poem

By Angel AdagioPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I don't know what you're like, but I hope you're nice. My sister tells me that you're great; that you are everything anyone can dream of.

I've never met you though. You were always the celebrity that I had to look through a screen for. Sometimes through a book.

I've never had you. It's weird to think that I have waited years and years for you, and you still haven't shown yourself.

You've showed up for everyone I have ever known, yet, not for me. I need you, desperately. What do I have to do for you to show up?

I can plead, get on my knees, bow my head, and offer everything I have to just have you. Just please, let me have a chance....let me have a chance to be happy.

I have never met happiness. I don't know if I ever will. I hope that if I do, I hope it is everything that everyone has described to me, and more.

    I've met happiness before, only for it to be robbed from me. So I'm searching for it again now. Hope you find it too!
