Happiness.
Is
This
What
It
Feels
Like?
Living
In
The
Dark
So
Long
Has
Erased
Those
Memories.
A
Smile
Is
Planted
On
My
Face.
I
Stare
At
The
People
Around
Me,
Taking
It
All
In.
They
Smile
Back.
Genuine.
I
Shouldn't
Have
Been
So
Easily
Fooled.
It
Was
Only
A
Trick.
The
Mud
Fell,
Encasing
Me
In
Layers
Of
Brown.
The
People
Laughed,
Throwing
Things
At
Me.
My
Smile
Faded,
Turning
Into
Something
That
Was
Mine
Once
Again.
Expressionless.
The
Mud
Kept
Dripping.
The
People
Kept
Laughing.
Embarrassment
Washed
Over
Me.
I
Walked
Away,
Fingers
Pointed.
Pain
Found
Me
Once
Again.
I
Tripped,
Falling
Onto
The
Tiles.
Explosions
Of
Laughter.
I
Tried
Getting
Up,
They
Kicked
Me
Back
Down.
Another
Reason
To
Hate
Myself;
Letting
People
Deceive
Me.
I
Hated
Myself
For
Letting
Them
Trick
Me.
