Why Can't I Be Happy

by Adelina Darllen   Oct 7, 2020


Why is there a
Hollowness in my chest that
You can’t seem to understand
Couldn’t I choose to be
A happy, smiling girl
Not have this in my heart
This pit of nothingness
I never asked for this
Broken heart and mind
Endless sea of loss
Happiness is what I chose
And yet it comes at a
Price, heavy and swift
Preluding the hard drop
You don’t care to notice
