Struggle

Why is it so easy for others to be happy,
When I struggle day to day to smile.
Looking for any reason to steal a laugh.
I linger, longing for that moment of pure ecstasy.

But it forever eludes me,
Dances inches in front of my face.
The song it plays in every wonderful way…
But just can’t find the words to say
“Help me, I’m trapped in this broken melody, &it’s slowly driving me mad”
