Just try to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.

Not It Envieshim His Desolation...

NOW IT ENVIES HIM
HIS DESOLATION…

March couldn’t part with its nature,
Made me give up the isolation.
Then it marched into someone else…
Somewhere, not near, far away…
And, now, envies him his desolation.

Days

Sad eyes, sad eyes, across the room
Sad eyes, crying in your gloom
Sad eyes, love has been untrue
Just look at me, oh just look at me
Just look at me, i'm lonely too
I'm like you, so like you, sad eyes
Oh sad eyes
Don't you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes Tears won't help
But maybe i can replace that other face
Sad eyes, sad eyes, this ain't just a line
Sad eyes, maybe we can find
Sad eyes, somewhere down the line
Happiness, oh happiness Happiness together, you and i
Someday, some way, sad eyes

I usually write when I'm in a great place. When I'm depressed, I don't usually write. So I take all of when I'm depressed and throw it into when I'm feeling good. Weird, I guess.

Sadder Still

sadder still, sadder still, sadder still
you watch it die
betrayal of the heart
is the hardest part of letting go
now you see the truth of me
so what's the point? it's so cold
time will take your soul
time will take your dream
time will take your life away
away
fading lights
shattered dreams
of lost love
i remember the past
betrayal of the heart
is the hardest thing to let go
so now i don't dream
no, i don't feel
anything at all, anymore
time will take your soul

Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, how much misery I have been spared.

The misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody.

Sad Eyes

Roy orbison/ray rush/joe melson
Sad eyes, sad eyes, across the room
Sad eyes, crying in your gloom
Sad eyes, love has been untrue
Just look at me, oh just look at me
Just look at me, Im lonely too
Im like you, so like you, sad eyes
Oh sad eyes
Dont you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes tears wont help
But maybe I can replace that other face
Sad eyes, sad eyes, this aint just a line
Sad eyes, maybe we can find
Sad eyes, somewhere down the line
Happiness, oh happiness happiness together, you and i
Someday, some way, sad eyes

I Did Not Want To Write Poems Of Sadness

I DID NOT WANT TO WRITE POEMS OF SADNESS

I did not want to write poems of sadness
But when sadness takes over one’s life?
The words are what the feelings are
They can try to be better
But ultimately
The true poem is the feelings
And now at this moment
Sadness is the poem
Sadness which waits for the morning light
And prays to God it will be truly ligh

How we feel

I am happy
But I can be sad
Or I could be mad
Or maybe depressed
Or maybe scared
But I'm happy now
I want to stay happy
Its really better that way

Are you happy?
Or are you sad?
Maybe you are depressed.
Or maybe you are scared.
But I think your happy now
Its really better that way
Its better to stay happy
It really is

Depression Knocks At My Door

Here it is again my old and faithful friend,
knocks at my door.
Here I am, its me again.

Its depression,
Only today depression has brought you.
Suicide

Depression you are no longer my friend
You are the enemy to who i do not serve.
Suicide is my new friend.

And one day Ill finally
Take suicides hand

Why Is There Such Sadness In The World?

WHY IS THERE SUCH SADNESS IN THE WORLD?

Why is there such sadness in the world?
Why is there so much sadness in me?
Twilight is sad its true
But I just wished Happy New Year
To a man who will probably die this year
I am just an old fool
With so many fears
But the Sadness
And its causes
Are real too much-

Leave me be

Sorrow, sorrow why must you take me so
Why have you left me in such a big hole
Sorrow, sorrow when will you leave my soul
And let me finally breath so
There is nowhere to go
If you keep beating on my heart so
Sorrow, sorrow its your time to go
Let your heart leave from my soul
