My words

The Struggle

There's a struggle within, a fight for happiness.

To see the world around me so full of laughter, love, and joy, it kills me inside.

I can feel my heart beating, yet it's just a broken drum.

Every day, tears threaten my eyes.

Every day, I hide what's inside.

My smile is genuine, that I can't fake.

Behind my smile, the thoughts remain.

Look into my eyes, you'll soon learn the truth.

I so desperately want to be happy.

Don't you?

I need to be loved, wanted, and cherished.

I need to know a man's love, for I do not know what it's like.

I need to be happy.

I need to be heard.

I've always been ignored.
