I Was Once Happy
I was once quite happy
Then one day it went away
This numbness and pain moved in
I believe it's here to stay.
What used to make me laugh
Now only seems to make me cry.
The things I once lived for
Now make me want to die.
There are events that happened
Each one has changed my life.
Creating a feeling in my soul
As though it's been cut with a knife.
What is my reason for living?
How did it get stolen away?
I'm in a place I don't want to be
Misery and Hell is where I stay.
