Am I alone?
Like sadness I am prone
They say “smile, you will look better”
But it’s happiness I cannot weather
Why me?
They say happiness is the key
That key is lost
I try to smile but at what cost?
I try to grin
I try to shine
But all I can do is say I’m fine
There is a dark cloud
Like I can’t breath in the crowd
The feeling is unbearable
Where happiness seems like a fable
I try. I try my hardest
But I am left with no rest
Sometimes I think. Sometimes I wonder
Will it be a while
Until I can lift this heavy smile?
Yes sad poem I KNOW. This was a poem I wrote at the beginning of the corona virus in America. Being extroverted, I had an especially hard time being isolated. I couldn’t find work, I had just left all my friends in China a month ago, I felt like I didn’t fit in my family. It was just a tough time for me. I got through it stronger, but still never the same. I’m sure some of you can relate to this.
