Happiness Eclipsed

poem by: Josephina DeGraeve
Written on Jan 14, 2017

Happiness so hard to find.
Why can't there be
more in the dark world?
Vengeance and anger
Violence and murder
Annoyance and what?

you can't really 
Compare that with
 something.
For
It can happen to 
anyone.
Anytime.
Any where.

Why can't there be
more happiness in
this world?
Why is it basically all
surrounded by
darkness?

Spirits roam and
moan everywhere.
They try to talk to me
and I say no.
And this is what I get
in return?
When I get this even if
I do help them?

Life is something
pointless.
Life is something 
hard.
Life is... Well life.

You have to create
your own happiness
but how?
How do you not let
the hurt and pain from
the past hurt you?

These are the
everyday
questions of life.
Most of them don't
get answered.
Or they get answered
after they have
already been
consumed by the everlasting darkness.
