Misery likes company
So should my joy be solitary?
To be a modern day Sisyphus
Finding contentment in monotony
Why then to I feel so alive so spontaneously
Should I not chase these sparks across the sky
Reach out and grab them if only for a moment
Because it is easier to be satisfied with a world you hate that you won't change then facing that joy can be fleeting.
But my tears are never accompanied by a smile
So it might be for a moment but I don't want to let myself fall into being a cynic
if it means letting go of those moments before they are gone

About the Creator
J.Doune
I write to rationalize my feelings and I'm a man who feels a lot. Sad, scarred, depressed, angry, I feel ugly because how hard they hit I feel beaten and bloody. It feels like going ten rounds with myself and my laptop every time I write.
The Missing Ingredient
The first time I saw her, she was wearing a velvety, red ribbon in her hair. She carried a small leather backpack everywhere. She searched the forest by turning stones, checking beneath shrubs, listening to the wind as if it might carry an answer.
